About the event

Midwest Hype at The Common

Midwest Hype came of age in the early 2000's in the Chicago area and officially became a band in 2006 when lead singer/guitarist George Matthew Prellwitz met drummer Max Kepler and bassist Nate Miller and began playing music together. The three of them went on to Ball State Univeristy, where they met keyboard player Kevin Krizmanich, saxophonist Ben Morrisey, and trumpet player Scott Whitford. After leaving BSU the band members proceeded to embark on a grueling tour schedule, playing 150+ shows annually over the course of the next 5 years. In early 2010, emcee Justin "Ideal" Diehl joined the group, adding the perfect complement to the mixture of hip-hop, reggae, funk, and jazz that fully epitomizes the band.In 2012 the band released the "Dayglow" EP, beginning with a sold out show at Schuba's Tavern in Chicago. The EP was their first effort working with producer Steven Gillis (formerly of Filter). 2012 saw the band play numerous high-profile shows, including The House of Blues, The Metro, Wicker Park Music Fest, Summercamp Music Festival, and Hyperion, among others.2013 saw the band hit Hollywood Way Studios with multi-platinum producer Dave Aron (of Sublime, Death Row, and Prince fame) to record the full-length LP "The Time." The album sets the dynamic contrast of the band's mix of intelligent hip-hop and soulful reggae against the driven background of progressive funk, with flourishes of hard rock and jazz. The Time was released in 2014 with a solo-out headlining show at the world-famous Double Door Chicago.The Hype followed up the “The Time” by once again working with Steve Gillis at Transient Sound in Chicago to record the "Nightglow" A/B-side 7 inch vinyl series, the first instalation of which was released in 2017 with with the recording of the live music video for the title track & lead single filmed at a sold out show at The Emprorium in Chicago.
