EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: The Blue Ribbon Glee Club - Bad Kids + Words and Guitar
What do you get when you take 30 musicians from around Chicago, dress them in varying shades of blue, take away their instruments and tell them to go? The Blue Ribbon Glee Club takes punk rock songs and turns them into a capella (with occasional percussion banging) romps through their collective consciousness. According to Josh Dumas, one of the groups founders, "there's no director, no one doing vocal arrangements or anything. Everyone sings what they think sounds nice and then it just coalesces somehow."
Covering anyone and everyone from Fugazi to the Pixies to Bowie to the Clash to Art Brut these guys just make fun songs. They recorded the Sleater-Kinney song featured here inside an old church in Chicago and "Bad Kids" was recorded, very drunkenly (as the Black Lips would have it) at a live show at the Empty Bottle in Chicago. They are releasing both songs on a limited edition, marbled color vinyl EP later this summer.
