We mentioned this weekend's Roommate show at Hideout already, but neglected to point out that Chicago's SHAPERS are also on the bill. The make-up of the band is shady (not really, they basically grew out of the now defunct May Or May Not with a decidedly more experimental bent) and their intentions remain a mystery (or not since they seem to really just enjoy playing with perceptions of musical genres as they poke into dark and not so dark corners of exploration).

Some may find the group's output somewhat inscrutable and we admit that on record the band can be a bit of an acquired taste, so to those folks we offer this recent remix the band released, gratis, of a track by popular indie rock recording artists Broken Social Scene (stilted delivery at the end of that sentence wholly intentional). We think Shapers makes the song better, what do you think?
