Beauty lies beyond the search… Ground Lift Media and Arthur Banks (of Jugrnaut Chicago) are excited to entice you with an intimate single/video release party for the Chicago-based trio 1773’s newest song entitled ‘That One.’ Featuring performances by 1773, a solo vocal set by Wes Restless, and love song-centric DJ sets by Moral One, TREW, & Manny Muscles (Jugrnaut).
“By looking at our group’s name, it’s obvious we have an affinity for Chicago. We always try to move people’s bodies with our music, but this event allows us to interact with Chicagoans on a personal level,” states Just Jay. “Although we may still tell you to wave your hands in the air [laughs].”
As an event, Me & You evokes the more passionate side of Hip-Hop & Soul as filtered through a perspective which is distinctly 1773 – at all times representing Logan Square/Humboldt Park, ‘feel good’ music, and eclectic urban fashion. Within the intimate confines of LOkal on Valentine’s Day, 1773 unveils their new album’s lead single ‘That One’ which finds MCs Wisdm O.N.E. & Just Jay contemplating their ideal mates. However, “the search is only part of the beauty, when you find out someone’s passions, goals, and quirks… that’s the realness,” explains Wisdm O.N.E.. In addition, the group performs a short selection of their ‘romantic’ tracks, and vocalist Wes Restless (The Jordan Years) takes the stage for acapella renditions of his most recent ballads.
1773 Mini-Bio:
Multitasking as MCs, singers, producers, & instrumentalists, 1773 [Pronounced Seventeen Seventy-Three] originated in 2004 as an occasional venture between Just J & Moral One (respectively, lead MC and drummer of the live Hip-Hop band Berto Ramon) and their longtime friend Wisdm O.N.E.. But in two short years the group evolved into a full-fledged endeavor and a highly regarded live performance act who has shared stages with Wiz Khalifa, Lyrics Born, Blackalicious, Pigeon John, L.A. Symphony, SoulStice, Tanya Morgan, Ohmega Watts, Othello, Braille, Blu & Exile.
2010 finds the trio nearing completion on their next album titled Greenlight Go produced completely by Tall Black Guy and featuring guest performances by Von Pea (of the critically acclaimed group Tanya Morgan), 14KT (Buff1, Athletic Mic League), and singer Ragen Fykes. Release date: October 2010.
On a bitter cold December evening waaay back in 2009, 1773 rocked the stage alongside up-and-coming Pittsburgh MC Wiz Khalifa for his Deal or No Deal Release Party/Tour. Uncle El over at fordafresh.blogspot.com captured the fellas as they warmed up (in all senses of the word) the sell out crowd at one of Chicago’s premier live music venues, Subterranean. Check out the video below…

ROPER!, a local Chicago photog about town stopped by 1773′s Return of the New Release Party last week and snapped! (literally) If you missed the event, we also celebrated Vertual Vertigo’s Sparkie’s Bungalow & Pseudo Slang’s We’ll Keep Looking album releases. The show went extremely well especially considering the obstacles & life-changing events that arose last minute. So props to all the crews! Pics below. Oh and if you haven’t already, check out all the group’s new albums on iTunes!!
Three Drops All-City Release Party 10/6/09 @ Darkroom. Photoset by ROPER!
Big thanks to everyone who made it out to our release party this past Tuesday! It’s been a hectic couple weeks as we prepared for the release, what with Just J briefly touring Canada and performing at the Montreal Pop Festival! But we’re excited to be a part of Soulspazm Record’s roster and plan to make as much noise worldwide on Soulspazm as we did in Japan on River City Music Entertainment.
Itching for the US version of ‘Return of the New’? Stop by iTunes for a taste! Feeling what you hear? Leave a comment on our iTunes page! Every little bit counts!!
