We are MFC (Mukwonago Fried Chicken). We are from Mukwonago, Wisconsin. Our favorite food is fried chicken. Our names are Levi, Nate, Zues, Grody, George, Shay, Aaron, and Stein. Catch us headlining at Woodstock April 57th, 1969. Don’t forget to keep calm, fake a British accent, and eat fried chicken! Enjoy our music!
Some say that if you wander past the Field House during this hobby that you would truly feel the best of both worlds. We whole heartily agree with said statement.
Check out their epic performance at Fine Arts Fest 2018 below, as well as their rehearsal video! And you can stream and download the live performance mp3. Rawk!
6 people walked into the woods. 5 came out.
Bad perception, good deception.
Enjoy their Fine Arts Fest performance, download and stream their mp3!
That was the question on everyone's lips until the moment they hit the stage at Fine Arts Festival and dropped their new single! They are pure fire and they showed camp who is boss. Check out the studio and live recordings, and their epic performance captured by a pro three-camera video team, below. ALSO stream or download their other studio hit Good Riddance!
Two lucky campers got to build two lucky cajons this year at Beber, one each session! The cajon is a Latin American percussion instrument, and very popular for campfire jams and such.
Pictured here is 2nd Session camper Spencer Gertz atop his creation, which features a different musical instrument on each surface, carved in with a Dremel tool and then painted.
Slappin' the bass is so yesterday, slappin' the cajon is where it's at!
Bearing Down on the Cajon!
We had a lot of fun in our very first Pro Tools/Logic 101 Hobby - dedicated to teaching campers how to record music on their home computers using equipment and software that they may already have, or which is very inexpensive.
Our goal was not to finish a song, persei, but we DID make some beats, which we then manipulated with special FX and plug-ins to make them very unique. So here's a reel of 6 beats, each made by one of our 6 talented Ramot campers - Gabi, Jack, Morrie, David, Izzy, and Oliver. Oh and below that is a drawing we made illustrating signal flow in a recording path. Good stuff!

Daniel saw a video of Queen one day and was inspired to create a parody of "We are the champions". He had just won the baseball championship and decided he needed a song to celebrate all his victory and his time at Beber camp. He had a golden trophy and he decided that he needed to tell everyone just how amazing Beber camp was and, at that moment, Lila just happened to walk by. Together they decided to write a tribute to the greatest song ever.
Two girls from the city of Chicago, who both loved music and Camp Beber. Came together to write one of the greatest parody mash up’s ever. They faced many challenges, including uncontrollable laughter, writers block and very loud noisy neighbors. Shayna is a dancer, singer and actress. She also plays the keyboard and sports! Danielle is a softball player, singer, and actress. She also plays the keyboard and other sports! They have been besties for 7 and a half years. They decided to do a mashup of “Little do you know” and “Thunder”.
Straight outta Makor, ready to take the camp by storm, The Dancing Cookies are the newest rock n roll sensation! Rock ain't easy, but here's an exclusive sneak peak at a recent rehearsal, playing the all-time classic "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
Stay tuned for more!
Beber always has so many amazing musicians and singers, and 2018 is no exception! Check out some of these awesome performances from the second session staff talent show!
Tastefully taking some inspiration from Billy Joel's hit song, The Piano Men stormed the music realm of Beber Camp and immediately established that they were a force to be reckoned with. Rather than playing carnival-like pianos and memories for an old man, these dudes set out to drop some phat beats and wonderful tunes. As we can all observe, they definitely achieved their goal.
"At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, water boils. When water boils, you get steam. When you get steam, you can power a locomotive. It takes one degree to separate the good from the great. But when you 212 a 212, you get the 424."
Although this statement can be a little confusing, lead singer Alex knew exactly what he was saying. He, along with Joel, Jay, Evan, Matt, and Josh brought all the energy to the Beber Camp stage at the end of 1st session with their electrifying performance of the Kanye/Kid Cudi classic, "Erase Me". The band was hyped up as well as the entire crowd. Now THAT is a 424. That live recording, as well as their studio recording, is below!
K-U2 swept into the studio late-night on a sneakout to sing about how generally cool they are, and how they basically run camp, and other such big statements that they back up with their big personalities.
Enjoy the results!
The Spice Jews are unlike any other band in Beber history. Not only are they one of the largest bands in terms of people onstage, but their spirit is something quite unique as well. Back in the 1990's, The Spice Jews were involved in an intense legal battle with the pop group known as The Spice Girls. This resulted in TSJ having to wait to use their name until after the other group had disbanded. With that said, The Spice Jews made their official debut at the Fine Arts Fest in 2018 and it was truly something to see (video below.)
Full Lineup:
Alivia, Sammy, Hannah, Ashleigh, Carly, Melody, Jessie, Julia, Laney, Naomi, Danielle, Yael
One day at lunch 40,000 years ago, a group of world-class musicians came across an infant culinary genius that demanded he be called Cheffrey Jefferey. One of the musicians misheard the young chef and simply asked, "Jeff?" From there, the rest is music history. The talents of Talia, Sloan, Cassie, Josh, and Bubble Bath surely speak for themselves, as you'll hear in their live and studio recordings below!
Jonathan, Samuel, Teddy and Zach started an air conditioning company in Washington, DC. One day, a customer said that one of their machines was making a weird sound. So they went there to check it out, and they figured the sounds sounded like a rhythm. So Teddy found a stick, and started smashing the air conditioning, and it sounded pretty good. So the guys thought why not start a band?
Therefore, the band was born, and their name shall be known as District of Columbia Air Conditioning, or for short, DC/AC. Check out their photo, recordings, and live performance video below!
Twisted Brother is the only official Beber-based Twisted Sister cover band, and this is the one that's gonna make 'em stars! Check out the rehearsal below, and the single version of "We're Not Gonna Take It" too!
Hello everyone. My name is Allison Lefkowitz. I have just turned 10 years old and this is my 3rd summer at Beber camp. I love cake, sushi and sleeping.
My song is about bringing Beber camp back to earth because it floated away... and that's all I know. Are you writing everything I say? Okay, now we're done. Now we're going to take pictures no more of this bio stuff. I gave you a description. AHHHH!!!
The hottest band in the Pio Village this summer was Andrew and the Aronoffs, and after they made their Fine Arts Fest debut, the whole world knew about it, We hope they are ready for the big time.
Check out their version of "I Wanna Get Better" recorded late-night on the stage of Crown Hall, along with the live version, AND the video from their performance!
There's also some photos from the show, and leaked footage from their recording session below, as well as a rehearsal video in which they can be heard playing Shake & Pop to lead into I Wanna Get Better. They're cool, they're crazy, they're Andrew and the Aronoffs!
Hot Cross Buns is one of the hottest Kesher bands in years, and they're proving it with their blistering rendition of Livin' on a Prayer. The single is finally here for everyone to enjoy!
