Shelter in Sound: Ratboys

Like you, the CHIRP Features team is staying home to help flatten the curve! We are shifting our programming to present a new series in our Artist Interview Program. Shelter In Sound features interviews with artists and local music related tastemakers on what they are doing right now during this global pandemic. Tune in to learn how some of your favorite folx are managing and staying creative while hunkered down.

This week Julia Steiner of Ratboys spoke with Features Co-Director Mick (@thasoundblog) remotely while they safely sheltered in their apartments across town. Listen to Julia talk about her band’s adventures in streaming live shows from her basement, how her band ended up playing a Bernie Sanders rally, and what she plans to do once the Shelter in Place order is lifted in Illinois. Ratboys plays a live set over Twitch every Fri & Sat @ 8pm CST. Visit https://www.twitch.tv/watchratboys for more info.
