This weekend is the Intonation Music Festival in Chicago. I’ll be heading down on Saturday morning. I’m really looking forward to seeing Jose Gonzalez, Bloc Party, and The Streets for the first time.
Head over to Noise For Toaster for a fantastic interview with Birdmonster’s bassist Justin.

Mark Farina is set to release “Ministry Of Sound Sessions” on August 15.
