Urb’s Next 100: Midwest Representing!

March 5, 2008

I just got the latest issue of Urb Magazine. Couple of our friends are some of Urb Magazine’s Next 100 and the station we started Rhythm Lab Radio is in it too.

Congratulations to our friends “The Glamour” hailing from Milwaukee. The duo has been rocking in Milwaukee for sometime now and I don’t see them stopping anytime soon.

“Comprised of neon-loving kids Ahser Gray and Richard Galling. The Glamour is Milwaukee’s answer to a hipster prayer. With a sound borrowing from French touch and sweaty Midwest loft parties, their signature tune “Kidz Night” made them every blogger’s wet dream. “It’s simple,” says Asher. “Our mantra is just, ‘let’s party!’” -Urb Magazine

The Glamour - “Kidz Night”

Another big congrats goes to Minneapolis’ Black Blondie. We have know those guys for a while. A band in a league on their own. Looking forward to hearing more from them.

“Black Blondie’s sassalicious frontwoman Samhara Linton’s look and sound resembles a drug- and beehive-free Amy Winehouse…if she had a hip-hop background, better lyrics and killer style. The Minneapolis foursome are together a shining example of the soul-filled creativity coming out of the Midwest. Withor without the beehives.” -Urb Magazine

Finally, big respects to one of our employers 89.3fm The Current for “keeping the Twin Cities on blast” Rhythm Lab Radio have been on The Current for almost three years and they have brought freshness to the airwaves in the Twin Cities. You can find Rhythm Lab Radio here and you can here it every Saturday at midnight following our man Kevin Beacham’s Redefinition Radio (one of the sickest hip shows in the country).

“Minneapolis-St. Paul might represent America’s 15th largest metro area, but their NPR station is first class. And it’s not just, “A Prairie Home Companion.” “The Current” proves that Minnesota Public Radio is totally modern, with free form sets music fans in bigger cities would die for. Fortunately, the web has made live in-studio sessions by Tori Amos, Art Brut and Ulrich available to everyone, making MPR a destination even for those not inclined to brave the brutal winters”.
