About Me

We've shared a stage with... Saul Williams, Malik Yusef, Chevelle, Shirley King, Marc Kelly Smith (founder of Slam Poetry Movement), Kevin Coval (5x HBO Def Poet), Blah Blah Blah, Phillip Morris, and many others.

GOWHERE HIP HOP: "...lend your ea...rs to one of the hotter underground rock bands in Chicago as »radiant devices« possesses a new sound that you're most definitely not used to, but could grow to enjoy."

LOUD LOOP PRESS: "...nothing short of refreshing and daringly creative... whatever the classification, the sound comes off as a gumbo rich with a dash of spoken word, jazz, ambient beats, and hard rock." AND "Infectious Substance dares to color outside the boundaries of Folk and pure indie rock to create art that is intriguing and, most important of all, moving."

CHICAGO POETRY: "[»radiant devices«] take to the stage and, wow! They use found objects, including a satellite dish, a chain, a gas tank, a big piece of sheet metal and a thick spring as musical instruments to compliment their off the wall, punk-rock poetry performance art. When I think of Mojdeh performing her poetry into a bullhorn I think of a female Jello Biafra."

"It's kinda making me horny" - Our friend and poet Gregory Pickett
