Airplay is...

Airplay is more than a show, it's an institution. Join the Airplay gang every week as they open the flood gates and let the music pour in. Airplay specializes in live in-studio performances by the best and brightest. Search the performance database if you don't believe us. Three parts freaky and two parts fresh, Airplay licks it where most shows only lightly kiss.

Conductive Alliance Saturday, July 17, 2010
Return performance from this Chicago 4-piece with their exciting and unique guitar-driven chamber rock . Their mostly-instrumental compositions are nimble and jaunty, abruptly changing feel and time and swiftly maneuvering a complex sonic landscape. This set features Nick Hill (bass, vocals), Eli McLaughlin (guitar, vocals), and Corey Brekher (drums, vocals).
