Buster Keaton’s 1927 silent film The General is considered a masterpiece. But some might argue the one thing missing from this comedic epic set during the Civil War is well, sound. That’s where Chicago indie band Quasar Wut Wut steps into the mix. The band created an original score that runs the gamut from rock to ragtime. Quasar Wut Wut will be providing its score to the film on Thursday at Chicago’s Martyrs’. They stop by Morning Shift for a preview.
