On July 5th, four Chicago-based bands gathered to raise funds to participate in the historic Rock in the Box 2 release festival in New York. It was a special night–ACI9, BAGWIS, LUCID BLUR & THE INDIAGOS covered each other’s songs.

In this podcast, we feature ACI9’s live performance at the Underground Lounge in Chicago. They open their set with an amazing version of a BAGWIS original: Dugo ng Tubo.

ACI9 is known for their funky and bouncing basslines by Chris Mallo, pounding and fierce beats by (what tha) Hec Cruz, and of course the political and poetic voice as well as the progressive psychedelic guitar riffs of Bing Labog.

Catch ACI9’s track “Don Pakete” on the newly released Rock in the Box 2 North American CD compilation produced by Soulworks Records & Poptimes Magazine.

Enjoy! - RoXin
