Terrible Spaceship, Chicago’s premier science fiction dance band, rediscovers media from the past and resuscitates it into a modern music and video multimedia experience. Utilizing both samples and live instrumentation for its original scores, the band has been described by the Chicago Tribune as "equally influenced by Danny Elfman, Portishead and Orson and H.G. Welles." It's science fiction you can dance to.

 Considered the finest rock band ever to have formed in Belleville, Michigan, Quasar Wut-Wut has been stinking it up since 1990. After destroying Detroit for years we relocated to Chicago in 1999 and have since refused to leave. Three major releases with a new one (and a DVD) on the way, we just can't seem to slow down (technically because we’re already going as slow as humanly possible, but that’s nitpicking). The Queen of Englandia herself once noted that QWW excels in towing the line between mediocrity and genius. Really nailing the sweet-spot between "pretty ok" and "better than average". The kind of band you might write home about, if someone else took the time to address the envelope and write the letter and all you had to do was sign it. The kind of band that might make you want to start your own band, but in the end maybe make a sandwich instead. That's Quasar Wut-Wut.
