Chicago hip-hop collective Private Stock throws the occasional show under the name Late Notice, and the next entry in the series is a doozy. On Sunday, January 21, Private Stock takes over 1st Ward with a concert headlined by rapper and tattoo artist Phor. Best known from VH1 reality series Black Ink Crew: Chicago (he works at Pilsen shop 9 Mag), Phor is an artist in other realms too—last month he dropped a luxurious album called Butterfly. And Sunday’s whole bill is hot: it features openers Valee, Queen Key, and JBro Bugatti, DJ sets from Mile High, Shon, and Dam Dam, and special guests Hypno Carlito and Bump J.
They’ve played only a handful of shows, but CB Radio Gorgeous already get a big “ten-four” from Gossip Wolf! The brand-new outfit consists of four folks who are already known quantities on Chicago’s underground scene: Jill Flanagan of Forced Into Femininity, Joe Seger of Big Zit, Matt Revers of Negative Scanner, and Anna Kinderman of Red Delicious. Revers compares the band to the Minutemen and Kleenex, and this wolf concurs! They play a DIY show on Friday, January 19, with Mayor Daley, Toupee, and Virginia industrial-blues duo Buck Gooter; e-mail Matthew.revers@gmail.com for details. v
