What are you doing peeking over here on this silly site?! Get over to WOXY.com and hear The Waiting Room because there’s a ton of great music including TWO lovely songs from Chicago folk who you should know or get to know. It’s not every day that a radio show, blasted out from Austin, TX, to the entire world wide web, coming from the teensy corners of far away Cardiff, Wales, contains so much Chicago talent, ya know! (Did you follow that? Cardiff, Wales >>> Austin, TX >>> the WHOLE WORLD!) …. yeah I’ve no idea what that picture means either.
Who’s in this week’s show that’s got Tart all flustered and stating the obvious for you in 115 different ways, you ask?
Puerto Muerto, who yes, I admit I have not heard yet and now that I hear they are breaking up from fellow Chicago blogger, Richard Giraldi of Loud Loop Press , I am ever so sorry! But you can catch their record release show at the Empty Bottle on Monday night, February 22.
Violetness, who I heard open for My Gold Mask at their record release show last month. I fell in love with her sound and reminded DC to go have a listen, (he’d heard of her, of course, I never beat him to the punch, the bastard!) But, Violetness is surely one to watch in 2010. She has an EP coming out very soon; her sound is quirky and interesting and fresh. I love her voice, she uses it like an instrument, at times avoiding the constraints of what “vocals” should be in a song. I can’t wait to hear what this EP is going to sound like. And I think you’ll find the song DC chose beautifully intriguing.
