O'Death crushes out on R. Kelly, plays two Chicago shows this weekend

By Althea Legaspi on 4:40 PM on November 7, 2008

We were curious about what springs to mind when the New York City-based, Appalachian-tinged folk-punk rockers of O'Death think of Chicago.

The two-hour travel time to Hideout prevented the chance to see The Uglysuit and those that played before them, but nothing cools off an angry commuter like some free watermelon and a playful game of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes with Tim Fite on a lovely Sunday. His lively hip-hop performance was one of the weekend's many kid-friendly offerings, which also included crafts, a Wee Hairy Beasties performance and a puppet show whose theater was rigged to a bike. ... read more
