MEND is: The partnership between Kassi Cork, pianist / composer and Max Glascott, technological impresario, DJ and experimental noisemaker.
MEND creates a cohesive mass of music that explores and redefines genre clichés within the bounds of any given track.
Influences range from hip-hop to industrial with nods to dub-step, acid, electro, classical and beyond.

St Griselda
Opening for MEND, St. Griselda will be performing their very first live show in Chicago! A studio project for over 3 years, now the adventure is coming to the stage:
St. Griselda creates dark, melodic electronic music.
We pull ideas from many genres, including circus, dance, steampunk, industrial, trip-hop, classical, and especially musical theater. Our goal is to create a mini-story with each song, so we start with a character and story and build the soundscape around them.
