Jonny Rumble Plays CMJ Chicago Showcase at Local 269 on October 22nd"They combine the ferocious energy and unshakable grooves of Motown's best with Chicago's long-standing love of power-pop; think MC5 jamming with Cheap Trick, but at Ramones tempos. If that isn't a sign of life, I don't know what is." -- Jim DeRogatis, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
