Bumsy and the Moochers from Chicago, IL have been around since 2012 riding a tidal wave sound reminiscent of 90s pop punk and ska. Known for their energetic and fun live sets, Bumsy and the Moochers never disappoints. For fans of Less Than Jake, Dance Hall Crashers, Mustard Plug, and The Hippos.

Beat The Smart Kids is the product of local Chicago ska and punk veterans banding together to give you that ska punk and other junk sound. With former and current members of Waste Basket, The Indecisives, Still Alive, and The Damn Tracks you can be sure to find catchy horn riffs, gravely vocals, and a driving punk sensibility.

From somewhere deep within the jungles of St. Paul Minnesota, a band with a stellar new take on horn-driven, high-powered rock has emerged: Space Monkey Mafia. Their 2018 debut album “Sorry For Your Time”, features 10 original songs, capturing the band's infectious live energy. Their sophomore release "Captain Crook EP" is available now!

DJ Chuck Wren has hosted the ska radio show “Everything Off-Beat” across the Chicago dial since 1989, currently airing Wednesdays at 9 PM on WNUR-FM 89.3. Since 1993, his label JUMP UP RECORDS (www.jumpuprecords.com ) has released 200+ albums including local faves The Operators, The Crombies, Deal’s Gone Bad, The Drastics, and Green Room Rockers plus legacy US acts The Toasters, The Pietasters, Chris Murray, Mephiskapheles, New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, and top international bands Lollypop Lorry, Dr Ring Ding, The Magnetics, Out of Control Army and Los Fastidios.  "Ska night with DJ Chuck Wren" (last Thursday of the month) has been a institution at Delilah's for 31 years. It is Chicago's longest running ska/reggae night and has been all-vinyl since day one.
