Adeptive Radiation and Children of Scare-Midget

Tomorrow night (March 15).

At the Hotti Biscotti

3545 W. Fullerton, Chicago, IL

starts at 10:30.

Adeptive Radiation is a tribute to a Bloomington "free-form" noise band, Belgian Waffles!.

According to Bloomingpedia, Belgian Waffles! played mostly midwest shows and many members later moved to Louisville, KY, keeping the band together until 2006.

Core members of Belgian Waffles! include Matt Whitaker-Bass, Flute; Tony Woollard-Guitar, Trumpet, Vocals; Bill Zink-Guitar; Heather Floyd-Drums; Trumpet; Soprano Saxophone; Chris Willems-Tenor Saxophone;Dan Willems-Alto and Baritone Saxophones, Guitar, and former members, among several others, include Bill Weaver, Alex Cosby and my manager's dad, Jim Manion, who was also one of the original WFHB crew and is still the Program Director at WFHB Community Radio in Bloomington.

As a free-form noise & free jazz cover band started by John Knight, Adeptive Radiation

has a lot of freedom... they aren't just doing Belgian Waffles! covers, but rather are sticking to a very loose structure laid out by their mentors and creating music of their own by this format.

Along with my friend John Hardwick(drums), the Bloomington sector of this band includes these two sweet

looking twins, Candice(violin) and Nicole(upright bass) Beck. The rest of the people are from Chicago -Toru Hironaka, Kurt Forney,and Nate Fremont.
