Master Plan Inc, a band from Chicago led by Fred Shorts. With just one single to their name - an uber-rarity rated at over $2000 - nobody had any idea that within the confines of a studio archive and Shorts' private residence there would be a wealth of other recordings on acetate, reel-to-reel tape and cassette.

Dan Leiber, Kevin Miller, & C. Ezra Lange have played together for almost a decade with Esso, the afro-carribean inspired funk collective that has represented Chicago's music & culture in cities across the U.S. and Mexico. Celebrating the pure joy of grooves peppered with instrumental diversions & conscious rhymes, Scrub League is a type of experiment; a question that gets answered in performance, 3 musicians trying not to think too much, get the ego out of the way, & play.
