"Chic-a-go-go, the legendary Chicago Rock and Roll TV show is coming to China for its first China Special interviews and dance with some of the strongest acts of the Beijing and Shanghai underground!

Since its 1996 debut, CHIC-A-GO-GO has been one of the most original and entertaining shows on Chicago television. Drawing from legendary dance programs like Soul Train and American Bandstand, as well as Chicago's own 1960s shows Kiddie-A-Go-Go and Red Hot and Blues, CHIC-A-GO-GO combines classic TV entertainment with an original, quirky style. And unlike its dance show ancestors, CHIC-A-GO-GO takes advantage of its non-commercial home on the Chicago Access Network to create a diverse TV world that does not have to focus on a single demographic. People of all ages, colors, and backgrounds, linked by their love of music, dance together in harmony on the CHIC-A-GO-GO set. The dancers, who range in age from newborns to youthful seniors, move to the latest Hip Hop music, as well as classic R&B, Rock & Roll, Punk, Funk, and all points in between.

CHIC-A-GO-GO also demonstrates its diversity through a wide range of musical guests. R&B and Jazz greats from the 1950s and 1960s, like Andre Williams, Milt Trenier, The El Dorados and Oscar Brown, Jr., share the stage with punk acts from the 80s, 90s and 00s like Plain White Ts, The Mentally Ill and Pansy Division. Rock & Roll acts from the 1970s like Red Krayola and The Cramps appear with today's Country stars like Neko Case and Alejandro Escovedo. Other guests include The Pharaohs, Bobby Conn, The Specials, Question Mark and the Mysterians, The Standells, The Shirelles, Poi Dog Pondering, and L'il Wally the Polka King. International guests have included The Kaisers from Scotland, The Pretty Things from England, and from Japan CHIC-A-GO-GO has had an army of guests, including Mainliner, Shonen Knife, the 5-6-7-8s and Guitar Wolf.

One of the most popular shows on Chicago Access, CHIC-A-GO-GO has been presenting music and dance programming to children of all ages for over 600 episodes."
