“Two redheads, sixty-nine shows, and one new White Mystery album” best describes what has been going on in the world of Chicago musicians White Mystery. The brother and sister duo having been making music together since their childhood on Chicago’s North Side, creating a number of bands apart before coming together in this incarnation. Sister Alex made her way through the music world in Hot Machines, various recording projects, and her albums with In the Red Records as Miss Alex White & the Red Orchestra. Forestbride was another project, this time featuring Francis, and shortly thereafter Alex graduated college, toured Europe with the Red Orchestra, and moved away from home. White Mystery came to be as a means for the siblings to continue collaborating together creatively.
The twosome was recently featured on Chic-A-Go, a performance which was dubbed “one of the most killer tambourine and guitar rock outs I’ve ever seen” by Lisa White of Gapers Magazine.
Offering a stripped down sound of garage rock, the hard hitting drums and real rock n’ roll guitar two piece stands out from the plethora of pop punk and electronica pouring from the current scene. Howling powerhouse vocals and undeniable energy puts these two a few rungs above other local talents, and if you haven’t already had the White experience, we sincerely suggest you start solving this White Mystery.
