Talking Shop with Jason Hendrix of Big Science (Live Tonight at Subterranean)
25 JunRecently completing production on a new full-length, Chicagoans Big Science have been spending their time playing Chicago and beyond in order to promote their latest efforts. Difficulty, as its name implies, is a work created during a turbulent time for the band in the midst of a lineup change that affected them both in their friendships and their identity as a band. Throughout the creation of Difficulty, singer and guitarist Jason Hendrix said as a band Big Science was “feeling extremely depressed about this reality, but at the same time feeling a rejuvenation of ideas and the writing process.”
Music fans can see what that struggle resulted in by checking out Big Science live tonight at Subterranean where they’ll be playing with Les Savy Fav. Show starts at 10pm, is 17+ and will cost you $15.
Continue reading to see what else Hendrix had to say about making Difficulty, the history behind Big Science and how they’ve grown as a band over the years.

Art for a Cause: Japanese Relief Art Show Tonight in Lincoln Park
11 JunArtist creators Andy Evans and Carla Wyzgala teamed up with friends and musicians Chris Alvarez (of Gypsyblood) and Frank Ligety (of House of Normandie) to host a one-day event to showcase local Chicago artists and collect donations to send to the American Red Cross Japanese Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief Fund. The general theme of the night is meant to pay homage to Japanese culture, including recent tragic events, which inspired the creative minds taking part. Along with the Artwork on display, the night will include a live DJ, live photography booth, video entertainment, drinks and light snacks. “More than anything, we wanted to raise money to help out the people and communities of Japan. Throwing a gallery event with art and music seemed the most logical way for us to raise money for the cause. And the theme came to be because collectively we’re all admirers of Japan, it’s people and its export of art and culture.” (Carla Wyzgala)
Wyzgala and Evans hope to put on at least one more art and music show at the same venue at some point this summer. Future events aside, the two hope the public takes advantage of the opportunity to both do good and expand their cultural palette by attending this event. “We hope we can all keep inspiring each other to do great things for our world through the creative process.”
