,: ItÆs been ôRed Summerö for over a hundred years. While the term :,
: ôRed Summerö typically refers to the race-driven violence in the :
:' Summer of 1919 across the United States, its repercussions, its ':
,: vocabulary can be felt or heard on every corner of every street. :,
: In Chicago, it has a special significance, as Chicago was one of :
:' two catalysts for that eraÆs violence, exploded by invisible ':
,: racial borders along the South Side, a phenomenon that exists :,
: today, constantly considered by long-running gospel industrial :
:' band ONO. ':
,: :,
: ONO bandleader P Michael Grego and frontperson travis had met :
:' before 1980, sharing a love for written and spoken word, the ':
,: transcendent, and the genuine. Through continual poking and :,
: prodding, P Michael convinced travis to join him in ONO, the :
:' name coming from shortening ôonomatopoeia,ö and underscoring a ':
,: desire to create ônoise not music.ö P Michael would handle the :,
: audio. travis the words. Since January 5, 1980, ONOÆs roster has :
:' changed drastically, but always fiercely defended a singular ':
,: construct: ôThe ONO STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: Experimental :,
: Performance, NOISE, and Industrial Poetry Performance Band; :
:' Exploring Gospel's Darkest Conflicts, Tragedies and Premises.ö ':
,: :,
: ONO began Red Summer in 2015 and finished three years later. It :
:' is a record about Chicago, racial violence, and the long arm of ':
,: history, starting with events as distant - and relevant - as :,
: 1619, the year the Dutch ship Pearl filled with African slaves :
:' appeared on the American East Coast. This is where the record ':
,: begins - the unsettling, carnivalesque overture ô20th August :,
: 1619.ö Frontperson Travis begins ôSOLD! 23 æNegars!Æ :
:' N-E-G-A-R-S!! FIELD æNegarsÆ good as Gold! Money down!ö ':
,: :,
: ItÆs a jarring moment, but whatÆs not jarring about the arrival :
:' of slavery? Ono frequently packages disturbing lyrics or ':
,: content into absurd, even catchy songs. Take the groovy funk :,
: track ôI Dream of Sodomy,ö an ONO live staple for nearly six :
:' years. P MichelÆs earworm bassline is a persuasive siren, so ':
,: much so that when the chorus - ôI Dream of Sodomyö repeated :,
: multiple times - hits, somehow itÆs hard not to sing along. On :
:' this song, travis meditates on his Black and Native American ':
,: heritage, Haitian reparations, and sexual abuse at the hands of :,
: a commanding officer in the Vietnam era while he served in the :
:' U.S. Navy. ':
,: :,
: Other songs like ôCoonö transform from glacial, elegiac :
:' mood-pieces into danceable numbers, all the while musing on ':
,: racial violence in the U.S. history and militarism. ôEarly :,
: morning, greasy spoon,ö travis incants for the chorus. ôPossum :
:' fat for the hainty coonö before shifting the songÆs narrative ':
,: to a Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance aircraft and the potential for :,
: a [Future] all-Black NSA/SAC U-2/SR-71 fighter squadron that :
:' turns revolutionary mid-flight! ':
,: :,
: Though Red Summer is named after a specific era, it explodes :
:' temporal constraints, necessarily so. As is made clear in books ':
,: like Claire HartfieldÆs A Few Red Drops and Cameron McWhirterÆs :,
: Red Summer, these things are hard to bookend. Racial violence :
:' occurred before the Red Summer, and it is still occuring now - ':
,: systemically, to boot. :,
: :
:' We hope that this record instills a need to learn, to study, ':
,: and functions as an inlet into something much bigger. :,
: :
