CHIRP’s Dylan Peterson sat down with Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder of the dream pop duo Korallreven before their ‘CHIRP Welcomes’ show at Schubas. The band talked about the spiritual nature of their music, and how both Lars Von Trier and Britney Spears can inspire conscientious living.

Deadbeat might be hard to google – their search results might lead you to believe they are lazy, or otherwise not active. You’d be sorely mistaken – Jessica Risker, aka, Deadbeat, is busy in Chicago and when not sampling found sounds, she’s releasing music with her other musical projects. CHIRP is happy to present Deadbeat’s Coach House Sounds Session streamable at coachhousesounds.com starting Tuesday, March 20, 2012.
Deadbeat links (for that google issue) :

CHIRP’s Dylan Peterson caught up with all five members of New York’s (by way of New Jersey) Titus Andronicus at last year’s Lollapalooza. The band compared and contrasted their experiences of playing Chicago’s two most prominent festivals (Lollapalooza and Pitchfork), enjoyed some bleed-in from The Cars’ set, and got into gender roles in rock music.
