 Prizefighta Presents... "Apocalipsis"
an evening of Indie Rock
July 25, 2009 - 9 p.m.
Multifaceted, Eddie Medrano pulls different sounds and ideas to create very unique and intimate events. Pushing music through a number of mediums, Eddie handles various aspects of production including, promotion, choreography, stage managing and photography. He has worked with the likes of local band, Hawkward, to Martin Atkins of Pigface and Invisible Records.
For July 25, he has called together a very special cast to perform at Village Players Performing Arts Center for what will surely be a very special night. With an assorted group of musicians slated to perform, "Apocalipsis" will push listeners into the darker realms of sound. From the electronic/experimental coherence of Saber, to the pulsing techno beats of Microdot, the night will be ominous and very personal, but not short-lived. Also featured will be indie band, the Dan Acne, as well as Perfect Kiss, a new wave group based out of the south side of Chicago, and dark dance DJ, Mr. Bobby.
