The show is free (hence Free Monday show) and also playing will be The Black Fortys and Soft Speaker.Įlliot Lipp and Leo123: Shooting out the lights Also the band compares their sound to "The Arcade Fire meets The Muppets," and anything remotely involving Muppets is alright in my book. An explosion of sound dissolves into earnest lyrics, creating some incredibly catchy multi-layered songs.
The eclectic five-piece create charming and infectious pop music while utilizing an array of instruments from synthesizers to banjos, ukuleles, and mandolins. The Empty Bottle will be presenting their last free Monday show of the year tomorrow night at 9:00pm with Chicago indie-pop protégés Raise High the Roof Beam. And what better way to burn off the 12 glasses of eggnog you drank and get back into the swing of city life then to catch a free show tomorrow night.
If you are like me (and a few million other folks) you spent the past day or so traveling back home from numerous Holiday celebrations. Tickets are $8 and the show starts at 9:00pm.Ĭoncert Sun Last Free Monday Show Tomorrow Empty Bottle Joining them that night will be The Sapiens, Picture Books (who are also releasing a new ep that night), and Pool of Frogs. The result is an album that is a visually appealing as it is musically, and an album that the band will officially be launching with a release party this Friday, January 2nd at the Metro with three other great up and coming Chicago bands. To keep the album local the band enlisted local designer and musician Marky Hladish of The Felix Culpa and Venna and his company MidwestLove Art & Design to work on the cover. In other songs like "Inside Voice", the two lay their melodies over an aggressive bed of piano pop. When the two trade off lead vocals, as in the lead single "Volts", the results are, well. Loomings is a mixture of the indie pop and alt-country with the kick being the alternating vocals by Jim and Nina. Members Jim Hanke, Corey Wills, and Nina, Andrew and Nate Lanthrum, see 2009 as their opportunity to launch their sound and their new self-released album Loomings into the national eye. Formed from the ashes of Lookout! Records Troubled Hubble, KYMM has been playing together locally since 2006.
Perhaps it is the fact that the band has something more substantial invested or that they are more focused on each step of the process, but as you listen to the debut album from the suburban band Kid You'll Move Mountains you can feel that urgency. Truly independent music has an urgency that you don't always find in major label or even indie label releases. Concert Mon Kid, You'll Move Mountains Metro (CD Release)
