Melkbelly—comprised of Miranda Winters (guitar and vocals), Bart Winters (also guitar, and Miranda’s husband), Liam Winters (a bassist and Bart’s brother), and James Wetzel (drums)—recently sat down with the Weekly's Erisa Apantaku in a cozy practice space in East Garfield Park. Amongst Christmas lights, a number of effects pedals, and jamming from adjacent practice rooms, Melkbelly’s members shared their feelings about their recent tours—headlining in Europe and supporting bigger names like Protomartyr and The Breeders—and provided a new meaning to the term yard sale. Songs heard during this interview were "Off The Lot," "Kid Kreative," and "Cawthra," all from Melkbelly's 2017 album NOTHING VALLEY. The bumper at the beginning of the segment featured SSW reporter Bridget Vaughn and the Chicago band Malafacha and was produced by Jed Lickerman. For more news, visit www.southsideweekly.com.
