In late 1987, artist/performer Groovie Mann and musician Buzz McCoy met one night in a dark and seedy Chicago bar. Discovering their common love for tabloid newspaper tales of sex and Satan, kitschy horror flicks, and trashy exploitation films, and boys started conjuring up the plot for their own B movie to be called My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. Yet without much experience and limited access to video equipment, the duo scratched their dreams of celluloid, but decided to transmute the project's accompanying soundtrack into a live band scenario. To accompany their vision, they also formed a trio of bodacious and sultry back-up singers/dancers known collectively as The Bomb Gang Girlz, and later that year the group hit the road!

In continuation of their 20th Anniversary celebration, this show will be reminiscent of the infamous "1989 Inferno Xpress Tour". It will feature many songs from the Wax Trax years: including hits like "Kooler Than Jesus", "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan", "The Days Of Swine & Roses", "The Devil Does Drugs", and, of course "Cuz It's Hot"!

"Few things are finer than drowning in anticipation for a new album -- having that album arrive and, most importantly, having that album more than satisfy said anticipation. The Bittersweet Constrain is wonderfully dark, mischievous and mesmerizing... twilight tales of spurned love, untimely ends and thoughts lost in the shadows, slowly creeping unseen and meaning to not merely embrace, but drag us down into those oh-so-wrong exalted states. What a bloody good record." -- L'Ennui Mélodieux

Bilal, brings his Philladelphia roots and affection for soul music to the stage in a rare trio performance with Blue Note recording artist and musical director for both Bilal and Mos Def, Robert Glasper on keys. Considered a star in the nu-soul genre, Bilal's earnest harmonies tie closely to the likes of his peers; Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and D'Angelo but with a panache that is undeniably his own. His "break out" occurred in 2000, when hip hop impresario, Common featured Bilal on his seminal record, Like Water For Chocolate. Bilal's debut album, 1st Born Second met critical acclaim and showcased his eclectic range and vocal prowess. The album dances between boom bap production and sensuous love ballads, an intriguing journey for the listener. Bilal's sophomore album, Love for Sale has yet to enjoy an official release date but has made waves nonetheless with bootleg distribution. Bilal, who is an impeccable live performer, trained in classical jazz and big band symphonies, offers up a perfect Father's Day celebration with this rare and intimate performance.

Grammy nominee Banton, a native of London, had his first break into the music business on English Beat's classic 1982 album Special Beat Service and has rightly earned the spotlight ever since. Nearly three decades later, Pato Banton is still the efficacious performer; approaching reggae music with a soulful and light hearted character.

Born Patrick Murray, the monkier Pato ("wise owl") Banton ("heavy weight DJ) was passed to him from his elders who gave him his earliest inspirations in music and life. His music has always been a testament to the evolutionary process of music and, indeed, life and has explored melodic island sounds while never losing focus. His mission remains to spread truth, beauty and goodness through reggae music, and that he does. As he moves into what he calls "his final chapter", Pato's spirituality is ever increasing as displayed on his most recent releases Never Give In and double disc, The Words of Christ.
