Those of you who have witnessed Lorin Ashton aka Bassnectar’s shows can’t deny the intensity of the energy he brings. From the slow and heavy “Magical World” to the in-your-face “Encore”, that sweet nectar of pure bass keeps you thirsty for more. With 17 years of experience behind the decks under his belt, Ashton used his metal music background and education in sound design to create a heavy electro style with various grooves, time signatures and tempos that keep the crowds hands in the air.

After hosting numerous shows that get the crowd raging, Chicago’s Congress Theatre finally showcased a show where the point is to “sit back, relax and get comfortable.” Joining Rebelution in their Piece of Mind Tour was Bob Marley’s former band, The Wailers. The chill ambience convinced me for the first time ever at Congress to sit dead center, front row on the balcony and prop my feet on the ledge while I sang along to Bob Marley & The Wailers classics like “Is this Love” , “No Woman, No Cry” , “Three Little Birds” , “Get Up Stand Up” , “Exodus” , “Jammin’” and “Buffalo Soldier.”

Snacking is not a limited-choice affair. It should involve small bites that pack flavor. Snacks are fun, wrapped up with comfort in a mini adventure, not serious. Duck Fat Fries and Roasted Bone Marrow at The Bristol can fit the bill.

On Thursday, March 22nd, The Underground, one of Chicago’s most popular nightclubs, hosted the Refinery29 Top 20 Chicago Tweeters party.

I’m not going to say much about this…I just discovered the video myself and I wanted to share it with you all. Have a look and take a moment to reflect on the story and commentary of this brilliant designer and genius of our time, Tom Ford. We here at Project Captured aim to inspire our readers to do what excites them and to do whatever inspires them; here then is our contribution to this mission for the day.

Daley is stirring up the music scene with a new soulful sound. Daley, the UK native, recently released the video for “Alone Together” featuring Marsha Ambrosious. Putting these two together was an amazing collaboration, they have great chemistry. It’s too soon to tell but I wonder if he will join the European invasion and follow in the footsteps of Adele. If you are interested in hearing more music from Daley, he has a list of great songs that you can find on his mix tape Those Who Wait which was released in 2011. I haven’t heard of an official album as of yet but I bet it won’t be long before he gets the attention he deserves.

On Friday, March 9th, over 250 guests celebrated the launch of ShopCityblue.com at Underground. From 9 – 11 p.m., style mavens from around Chicago enjoyed cocktails and passed appetizers while dancing the night away. Sponsored by Michigan Avenue magazine, Factor runway models showcased different looks by Cut 25, MM6, Gryphon and Simon Spurr, while giving guests a virtual tour of the new website on iPads!

John Mayer | Chicago Summer 2010

Lots of John Mayer fans were excited to hear that after 2 years, Mayer was finally going on tour again, but now after a sudden medical problem for the singer, they are just in tears from devastation. The tour is now cancelled. But I guess in retrospect, there were a few early signs and progressive disappointments leading up to this. Fans were first surprised at the new country music like sound of the upcoming album, then at his choice of cities and smaller venues to be preformed at on the tour, but now to make life even worse for his die hard fans, the tour has been pulled completely.

“Anyone here have a corkscrew?”

Before the lights dim and the room becomes filled with juxtaposed entertainment, I sit listening to something uncommon in theatre: people calling out for corkscrews and getting to know their neighbors. I felt more like I was in someone’s living room, than Studio BE where Jersey Shore: The Musical takes place. This camaraderie is not something commonly seen in the quiet, mindful theater going type. But then again, this isn’t really a show for the theatre going type. This is a show for lovers of high and low art alike.
