| In
1997 we at Whitehouse Records experienced the change of our area
code (which was always and forever 312) to the confusing 773. What
better time, we mused, to release a new album sampler of some of
our favorite musicians, and laugh in the face of the chaos! Ha ha!
With "Come In
773!" Whitehouse Records has added to the plethora of compilations
and samplers that seek to connect music to its imagined audience.
These are artists that have recorded for us, will record more music
with us, and some we just like. Most of these bands live and play
in 773, and some such as Spelunkers, make frequent visits.
Showcase Music
Magazine raved that 773! is "overflowing with some of the most
creative, talented, and innovative bands ever to grace the Chicago
music scene....it proves that Chicago, like Seattle or the Bay Area,
can also be the birth grounds for trendsetting music that can turn
the industry head over heels."
Listen to what
all the fuss is about.
