Tim Kasher Living Room Show

Published on April 1, 2014 by in Reviews, Shows

The ticket said no alcohol in bold letters, but true to form, Tim Kasher was drinking Modelo from a can when we arrived at an old industrial building in the North Central neighborhood. Tim came home to Chicago to wrap up a 2 week tour of living rooms, and he was all smiles as he

Deer Tick @ City Winery 5/8/13

Published on May 9, 2013 by in Reviews, Shows

John McCauley III kicked off Wednesday’s show at City Winery as Sinatra often did, asking “how did all these people get in my room?” He spent the rest of his night at the wine bar throwing back cans of Budweiser and alt-rocking. On their second evening in Chicago, Deer Tick played a set of fan

Oh man – I haven’t been this pumped for a show in some time! Yesterday, Rx Bandits announced a summer reunion tour in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the Resignation – one of my favorite albums of all time. It was one of those records that I could leave in my car cd

M. Ward @ Vic Theatre 5/22/12

Published on May 23, 2012 by in Reviews, Shows

I’m not sure why this show wasn’t sold out because it kicked ass. M. (Matt) Ward was superb. Having just released A Wasteland Companion in April, I was apprehensively prepared to hear a bunch of new tracks, but to my delight, he played a lot of great old ones – some gems from Post War

Andrew Bird @ Auditorium Theatre 5/12/12

Published on May 13, 2012 by in Reviews, Shows

As usual, Andrew Bird sounded amazing Saturday night at the Auditorium Theatre – stringing together crazy loops of violin, guitar, and whistling seamlessly. If I counted correctly, this was my sixth Andrew Bird show. I’ve seen him open for Bright Eyes, play at colleges, in a church and at festivals. With the exception of always

The Hood Internet @ Empty Bottle 3/31/12

Published on April 1, 2012 by in Shows

Half of Chicago’s own mash-up duo, The Hood Internet, played to a sold out Empty Bottle crowd on Saturday night. Aaron was mysteriously absent, but Steve (aka STV SLV) held it down on his own, mixing up a surprising number of R. Kelly songs, and a pretty stellar Chromeo + Whitney Houston mash-up called When

Bowerbirds @ Lincoln Hall 3/29/12

Published on March 31, 2012 by in Reviews, Shows

Beth Tacular and Phil Moore left their hand-built cabin in the woods of North Carolina to hit the road promoting their new record, The Clearing. They stopped off at Lincoln Hall on Thursday with their band Bowerbirds to softly rock the quiet, but attentive crowd. I actually thought the band was just Phil and Beth –
