Jason Brammer's new solo exhibition, titled Into The Deep, will open on June 7th at AdventureLand Gallery here in Chicago. This show will feature new works inspired by medieval bestiaries, nautical maps, navigational instruments, and other tools early cultures used to make visual representations of their worlds and the imagined creatures in them. Come out to see ink and watercolor drawings in Jason's own hand-painted and embellished frames as well as mixed media works. The show runs until June 28th.

One of the most demented and infectious live bands in the world! Get ready for the ethno-clash dance party of your life from the gypsy punk powerhouse GOGOL BORDELLO.

Gogol Bordello’s Trans-Continental Hustle, the group’s American Recordings debut, is perhaps the most ambitious undertaking in the group’s already remarkable decade-long career and it’s the result of an inspired, year-length collaboration with famed producer Rick Rubin. Gogol Bordello is arguably the hardest working — and hardest rocking — group of our discordant new century, maintaining a touring schedule and an onstage energy level that would send the average combo running for the emergency room. While putting out several critically acclaimed Gypsy Punks and SUPER TARANTA! albums, the intrepid band has literally traversed even the farthest corners of the globe, building a substantial world-wide fan base via gigs and festival appearances throughout Eastern Europe, South America and the Middle East, along with stops in Australia, Western Europe and in their adopted U.S. homeland.

We knew about you before the twentieth century, of course. We heard of the liars, thieves and killers who lived in the New World. You weren’t particularly interesting to us, because we lied, stole and killed as well, and we did these with more panache. You were frightened, loudmouthed rookies to us.

But in 1900 we began to hear your heart, through your piano scores and your shellac cylinders. It was then we realized that you are as wolves who revel in killing their prey, then weep for them. Through your music, we understood you to be a nation of butcher poets, and as such, our siblings. You are very dear to us, so it’s only natural that we should want to share OUR music with YOU. And if we should also on occasion kidnap your children, steal from your merchants or slaughter your magistrates, do not think of it as an act of disrespect.

Think of it as a kiss between lovers.
