WC Records has joined forces with MonkFunk, Hostage Radio, and Windy City Media in order to more successfully serve the music industry.   United we stand divided we fall is our new motto.   We believe that in order to really help the musicians get their music heard we must work together.   It all starts with the music, then as a team we work to achieve full visibility for our artists.   Each company brings something to the table.   WC Records provides the musicians with recording, producing, marketing, booking, distribution, and printing while overseeing every aspect of the industry.   Hostage Radio provides a platform for the artist to promote their music.   The band gets to go live on the air and talk about their music.   Plus the bands are introduced to the world of radio play and live interviews.   Windy City Media provides the band with a full bio, stats sheet, press release, and cover page...everything to make a professional press kit.   They have even gone as far as putting everything on one CD (Electronic Press Kit) that will make booking a venue a simple task.   With the right tools the music business can be a fun and exiting industry.   MonkFunk is an online music community designed to provide musicians with a network of other independent musicians.   Online the musicians can post their music, schedule, bio, and links.   The band even gets their own radio station with streaming audio.   MonkFunk.com makes finding great local talent or just making new musical buddies online as simple as remembering the sites name...MonkFunk.   Finally, a team of musicians, professionals, and music lovers working together to achieve getting independent music heard.

We are now working with Gunther Murphy's Music Room to help create a long lasting artistic movement in Chicago. Every Wednesday night we sponsor the Windy City Spotlight Open Mic, featuring Chicago's local bands as the hosts of the night. The open mic is a forum for singer, songwriters to hit the Chicago music scene and get heard. Please help us support the artists.
