That Richmond produced this group is to the credit of its musical ferment. Out of the city’s stew of punk and metal groups, bluegrass and assorted musical experiments came No BS. Its huge, bright sound seems more Bourbon Street than Broad Street, but Pace says that hasn’t hurt: “We’ve gotten no resistance to what we do.” He adds with a laugh, “People seem to want us around.”

The 3rd Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival is happening right now until October 12th in Chicago, IL. The festival features “Chicago-based artists collaborating in performances and projects with artists living in other locations — both here in the U.S. and abroad. These collaborations will be prepared or improvised, and some performances will involve live feeds between Chicago and elsewhere.”
On Thursday evening at 7pm CST (8pm EST), Richmond will play the role of “elsewhere” as Brian Jones and J.C. Kuhl will perform with a live audio/video connection to two other ensembles (a tentet at WNUR in Chicago and a nonet at Mills College in Oakland, CA). The performance is being streamed at WNUR at Northwestern University, Chicago.
