saki hosted our second Off the Record listening party in conjunction with the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE). This one was with local label Trouble in Mind and featured a live set by Mikal Cronin and brunch-ish items. Much fun was had at an early hour for rock people on a Sunday. We highlighted Trouble in Mind's February 12th releases Maston Shadows and Jacco Gardner Cabinet of Curiosities.

Extra special thanks to our friends at Bang Bang! Pie Shop, New Wave Coffee, Goose Island, WeeGee's Lounge (& master mixologist Joel, who created and served 2 unique brunch beer cocktails: Shadows and Cabinet of Curiosities), Ayme, Mikal Cronin, Maston, Jacco Gardner, Trouble in Mind. Quite a list of folks who made this the best Sunday morning possible.
