C-Style readers are about to be hooked up! We want to send you to one of the hottest events this season!
Metropia, an exclusive event experience that merges
regional artists and musicians in one exciting space, will make its debut in Chicago at the Atrium Events space (4325 N.
Ravenswood) on Thursday, June 7- Friday, June 8, 2012.
Event attendees, aka Metropians, will enjoy new sounds and
visually-stimulating art installations that are unique to Chicago. Metropia Chicago will not only encompass
art, music, and technology, but will also be cause driven. Social and
charitable causes play a vital role in Metropia, with a sizable portion of the
event’s proceeds benefiting the Chicago-based anti-bullying organization, The
Bully Squad and WLUW-FM 88.7 - Chicago Sound Alliance, which broadcasts from
the campus of Loyola University Chicago.
“The Metropia Experience is all about tapping into a
city’s performing talent and providing a live platform for musicians and
artists to showcase their work,” said Omar Barragan, creator of The Metropia
Experience and owner of BAO, Multicultural Event Orchestration. “The Metropia Experience
is organic and embraces the individual expression, not only of the talent being
showcased, but also the Metropians that attend.”
Metropia Chicago will feature a fantastic line-up of Chicago
and regional musicians in all genres of music including, Indie Pop, Rock,
Electro, Hip Hop, Dubstep and Garage Rock. Chicago bands include ShutEye, Fathom Blue,
Ramsen, Jaded!, Kelsey Montanez Band, Shadow The Machine Angel, Take The Day, Passport
Louis, The Bears of Blue River, Kirby Kaiser, Tim Million, Tiny Fireflies,
Veilside, Famous Like You, Cold Blue Kid, Santah, Marina City, Milano, The
