The City That Works @ Lincoln Hall - July 8th, 2010
The Jordan Years and comedy theater juggernaut Schadenfraude will be performing their last “City That Works” show of the summer. This show features special guest harmonica/beat box phenom Yuri Lane.
What: The City That Works When: Thursday, July 8
Where: Lincoln Hall, 2424 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago
Time: 8.30 PM Cost: $10
The Jordan Years, Schadenfreude, Rhymefest, Eddie and Jobo, and more at Martyrs June 17th!!!!!
Schadenfreude, Chicago’s long-running, critically acclaimed comedy ensemble, and soul/funk/hip-hop band The Jordan Years present The City That Works, two performances of sketch comedy and music with special guests. Parking meters are privatized, property taxes skyrocketing, unemployment at an all time high, city services cut back and crime on the rise, yet The Jordan Years are still happy to live in the “City that Works” (even though they can’t afford to).
The show is packed with Chicago superstars. Special guests include Grammy-award winning artist Rhymefest, former morning drive personalities Eddie & Jobo and furniture gurus, the Walter E. Smithe Bros. Say whaaaa?
Performers also include Joe Bill (Annoyance Theater) and Brian Babylon (Stand-up, Vocalo) and of course, the baddest band in the land “The Jordan Years.”
$10. 9pm. http://www.schadenfreude.net/
Yes, The Jordan Years are playing at The Kinetic Playground on May 28th, 2010 (tonight!). We added this show with late notice and have been busy working on the next City That Works show with Schadenfraude and Rhymefest coming up the end of June. But forget about that for now… Kick off the weekend right with The Jordan Years party @ Kinetic.
The Jordan Years return for an hour + set spanning new material, some old and some freaky. Start your Memorial Day weekend off right, with The Jordan Years of course! This will be an all music set, no comedy in this show! (At least none that we are planning! Ya never know…)
Also performing are the 80’s throw back band The Buck Stops which will be playing the finest in REM, the Clash, the Smiths, etc. TJY’s Joe the Drummer will be on the kit for both acts.

Yes you heard it right folks, The Jordan Years killed last Friday at Darkroom.
When asked, TJY replied “the night started off amazing, Pseudo Slang got the stage so hot that we were on tippy toes trying not to burn our feet. We dropped a couple of new tunes on the crowd and that’s when we noticed heads exploding. When the paramedics showed up during J Davis Trio‘s version of the classic Slick Rick jam Children’s Story we knew the cops weren’t far behind.”
Darkroom’s Arunas was last seen organizing a Free TJY Rally at Daley Plaza later that evening.
TJY will be released 5/21/10 for a performance at Gallery Cabaret with The City That Works, a comedy/variety show with Schadenfreude.
