David Vandervelde is someone who, whenever he comes to town, I will drop whatever I’m doing and get myself to that gig. In fact, of the many, many great bands/artists Steve over at Baby You Got a Stew Goin has introduced me to, David Vandervelde is certainly in my top ten of favorites. He not only has a great voice, can write wonderful melodies and catchy songs with good lyrics, but this man can PLAY GUITAR like nobody’s business. That’s not something that the casual listener notices when hearing his records and I wonder, when I’m standing amongst those chatty, rude, idiots that seem to flock to Schubas on a Saturday night if they got more than they bargained for. Because David does some serious guitar soloing. But unlike those “stars” that simply show off and then look for the applause (all the while pretending not to), this guy gives off the vibe that he just can’t help but do that solo, it had to come out and he’s kinda a little embarrassed you had to see it even. Well, maybe not embarrassed, because the man loves to rock, and he’s good at what he does. But these songs do not depend on that guitar virtuosity, they stand alone as the kind of tracks you want to hear on your radio on a summer day in your car with the windows down. Just take my word for it, you really want to hear them live, hear what else he packs into them once he gets going. He played a full set of at least 10 songs, three on his own without the aid of his drummer, a friend from Nashville, David’s new home (he’s a Chicagoan, ya know) and without bass player extraordinaire, another Chicagoan who will be missed around these parts. I’m disappointed in myself for not capturing a picture of David’s pedals for you. He uses a variety of effects pedals and switches to enhance his gorgeous guitar work, none of it overdone or masking the real talent there. Don’t miss David Vandervelde and his band, they’re only on tour for a few more days as they ready up a new album for us. Lucky, lucky us! xoxo

Cameron McGill weaves this multi-textured track entitled “Houdini” into a memorable piece that flows easily into your Saturday afternoon. The extensions and pauses and hesitations only make the eventual releases that much more, well… a release, like the way that holding your breath feels so good in the letting go of it. The more I listen to this the more I hear a bit of angst, a bit of the wanderlust the press release wants me to hear, and a whole chunk of talent that is finding its place in time and space on this album.
Cameron McGill might be known to some of you as keyboardist for Margo and the Nuclear So and So’s but Is A Beast will firmly ensconce him in your musical memory as a soloist (and dare I say crooner?) all on his own. It’s equal parts smooth and syrupy with a kick in the pants exactly where it’s needed. Is A Beast is an album that blooms into something more than what it began to be. The pacing is important, the promise of a nice, edgy, pop-ish indie record is gradually eroded by McGill’s vocals as they slide over notes both high and low, melancholy and beautifully bluesy. By the time you reach the harmonica’s wail on track 7, “Sad Ambassador,” this album has grabbed your attention in an entirely different way than you first imagined. I anticipate Cameron McGill & What Army doing just that when they come to Schubas on April 29th. I suggest you be there, xoxo

There was simply no way I was going to miss this show, everyone I know in Edinburgh (and by “know” I mean chat with on the internet and listen to their music if they’re in a band) knows the boys in Broken Records. I’ve been listening to their music for two years now, their recorded gigs, both audio taped and videos. I’ve read endless reviews by Matthew over at Song, By Toad and seen how they’ve evolved and transformed and matured. The old songs from their first EP are still my favorite, perhaps because that was a simpler time in my life and they’re songs I know well. Regardless, EVERY song this gang of Scots belted out last night was a winner! (Check out How’s My Living’s awesome photos here!)
We started out at Reckless Records’ in-store performance. The guys were a bit intimidated by the size of the place, it IS a big, cold, hard cavern of a store with no soft squishy things to soak up any sound. So they strapped on their electric guitars and plugged in, even though they had promised us an acoustic set. We were not unhappy with the change in plans. Now, I won’t lie to you, I was not an instant fan of Broken Records, back in the fall of 2008. But what turned the tables for me, pretty early on, was a good video of one of their live performances of “Wolves” which still gives me chills. Their sneaky little EP, released only at shows in the Spring of ’09, which I heard bits and pieces of, was fucking gorgeous. And when their album came out it was warmly embraced. We were overjoyed when 4AD snatched them up. And like all my favorite Edinburgh groups: Meursault, Withered Hand, The Scottish Enlightenment, Sparrow and The Workshop, eagleowl, (and others I’m sure I’m forgetting), I was dying to see them play live. Hearing about people and knowing they’re friends of friends of yours who’ve traveled so far to play to your city is an incredible joy. Their latest album, Let Me Come Home, is out now and it is very, very good.
This is not music that’s reeking in hope and sunny melodies about pretty girls and awkward moments. It’s urgent and tense and compellingly satisfying. You find yourself gazing up at them and smiling, and feeling like Snoopy doing that wickedly funny doggy dance he does in the Peanuts cartoons. It is joy-inducing but certainly not silly. There’s just so much going on in it all; the buzzing of violin strings and crazed pounding on the drums (he’s incredible, seriously, that guy) and counter melodies and Jamie’s vocals swinging wildly up and down the scale. There’s a certain chaos in Broken Records which is only penned in by some pretty fierce rhythmic collaborations. In other words, they fucking rock out like enjoy it. And towards the end, even the rowdy crowd at Schubas was captivated and quieted. That is a feat that most bands do not accomplish on a Saturday night!
Make a point of going to see Broken Records when they hit your town. Be there at their sets at SXSW. Sit and have a chat with one of them, they’re wonderful, down-to-earth guys with no pretensions of rock-stardom about them. I’m proud to know them a bit, at this early point in what will surely be a hugely successful career, xoxo

(scroll all the way down, cause US Royalty were amazing too and I’ve got a few words to say on that!)
Free Album Track
Download the first track of the new album, A Leaving Song, now:
US Royalty were pitched to me a few months back and I loved their single. I had no idea what to expect from the band, of course. One song usually doesn’t indicate much. But damn, that single was a killer! I walked in on their set, already begun, and what the hell? Here was a gang of young, quite dandy looking men, just cranking out a bluesy, 70s-influenced slew of rock and roll songs with complete sincerity. And let me be totally candid, as a woman in my 40s, I welcome this kind of thing with open fucking arms! It’s sexy, it’s fun, it’s very cool to dance to, and women of all ages love a man who can belt out songs like this. Now, aside from first impressions, giving US Royalty a good listen, not only are they sincere, they are good at what they do. Solidly manning guitar, bass, drum, keyboards and the requisite tambourine, every member of this band knew what they were doing. Yes, there’s some showmanship, some slick dance moves. And after watching so many goddamned indie-folk shows, I’m ready for that, believe me! John Thornley has a strong voice that he knows just when to let go with, the Fleetwood Mac cover was particularly awesome. And his brother, Paul, on guitar, is a smart soloist – playing to the song, not to the solo. With this debut album, Mirrors, this band is just coming into it’s own. California, they’re coming your way, make sure you go hear them!

I can’t get enough of this band. The Kickback is coming to Schubas on Oct. 16th and you should be there to see what I promise you will be a wonderful, exhilarating show! This is a gorgeous video of their new song. Let me know what you think, I’m smitten, … again. xoxo
Until you can get this new EP they’re working on, you’d best get their wonderful Great Self Love…. on itunes
Yes, hyperbole, … I’m using it because these two bands produce something that’s more than your average concert-going experience. Do not wander in uninformed to this show when it comes to your town. It’s not all pretty melodies and harmonies and clean breaks and easy-to-dance-to rhythms. No, my lovelies, the “noise,” “art-school,” “experimental,” rock music that these bands create is just the opposite and also all of those things as well. And that’s why I find this so interesting; it’s not a reaction to the over-sentimental indie/twee direction that has been so popular in the past decade. Unlike its harsher cousin, thrash or types of hardcore, the sounds coming out of bands like Women and mm/dd/yyyy (simply pronounced as “month day year”) isn’t one big block of NOT THAT, but a really smart weaving together of not-that and some-of-this. Do you see what I mean? When you listen to a hardcore band (and there are definitely some bands and corners of the genre that I enjoy, mostly the ones that sing instead of scream or growl, that’s just me and my taste) you hear (I think you do, at least) a giant slice of NOT THAT, as in not pretty/melodic/conventional/tame/acceptable. It’s reactionary and very consciously so. But bands like what I heard tonight, (Maps & Atlases is another,) do a little of both; in the same song they will incorporate reactionary, loud, noisy, non-melodic moments counterset with beautiful and delicate breaks of guitar picking. (Melt Banana sort of stands in the grey zone between these two types — it’s non-reactionary parts are so intricate, it’s hard for me to characterize them as melodic, per se. But that is the genius of lead guitarist, Agata.) That’s how I interpret the place that Women and dd/mm/yyyy hold in the music scene.
What these two bands did tonight is a much more practical matter.dd/mm/yyyy took the stage and delivered with very dry irony, the opening words to the crowd: “”We’re not Women, We’re Day Month Year. We like Women, we’re friends with those guys, we’re just not them,” followed by artsy experimental rock with a great groove an unexpected rhythm. With a sense of complete confidence, this band soared from one song to the next, changing tempo effortlessly within and between songs. The crowd grew and was completely enthralled by the middle of the set. I worked my way back to the tables and chairs by the door; the sound was on high and my tinnitus has been bothering me again (too many loud shows lately.) But from there I could see the crowd being drawn toward the stage, that’s how magnetic this band is. Make sure you check out their Daytrotter session! And the tenor sax (?) was incredible!

After a short set change, Women took the stage and the crowd took up ownership on the floor. People literally rushed the floor near the stage — that’s how much they wanted to be close to these musical geniuses. Many of us cheered when they began, and throughout, as they played from their first and second album. People up front danced and called out names of songs they wished to hear (mostly from the first album.) It was clear that the band was thrilled to have such a large and boisterous crowd for a Monday night show. The most intense moments of the evening were the instrumental songs and the long, drawn out instrumental parts of songs like “Heat Distraction” with its recurring refrain. We danced like mad to that one, even way in the back. This band brought more than I had imagined to their live show, matching what you hear from their recordings and surpassing what you expect. That noise, hammering as it does to engage your brain and body in the experience of this band, is such a total body experience in a live setting. This is a must-see show, don’t hesitate to be in that room when they come to your town. I immediately understood, in a new way, the purpose of those almost monotone vocals. Anything else would be superfluous against such intently crafted instrumentation. Don’t miss this, I hope I’ve driven that message home by now. Women certainly drove their’s home last night, xoxo
From their next four song 12″ vinyl release, A Million Miles (From Where We Were Last), My Gold Mask just continues to wow us here in Chicago and all of you around the globe who have been introduced to this amazing duo. Their record release show is November 13, at Schubas, so come out and celebrate with us! It’s not difficult to see where the title of this new record comes from. They’ve recently been in NYC to be part of Fashion Week. Vogue put them in their list of 10 best shows on Fashion’s Night Out, and they’ve been gallivanting around with Sheena Beaston. They played two shows there, September 10 and 11th, and as Sheena notes, Gretta’s been recognized as “being a trendsetter in rock fashion style by Blackbook Magazine, who said ‘Gretta Rochelle’s fleshy voice ranges from milky to primal screams. Her look, much like her sound, is one part electro, one part witch-doctor, one part Indiana Jones adventuress, with face paint and wild eye makeup.’” Wow! I’m not saying that a year and a half ago, when I first met Gretta and Jack, they were nowhere in the music business, but… they certainly hadn’t envisioned playing shows in New York City, for Fashion Week just yet. Although they they definitely should have, xoxo
Alright my dears, get your calendars out! There’s a load of shows coming your way and I’m just going to do a roundup of what I think you shouldn’t miss. I’m totally inundated with emails about truly good bands touring and I really wish I had time and space to tell you about each one in its own post, but alas. These are the shows I’m honestly going to make, they’re that good!
September 18 – Titus Andronicus with Best Coast, Free Energy and Male Bonding come to Metro. Again, I’m shocked there’s a ticket left. You’d better buy it now. This might possibly be the best lineup of the Fall season. Seriously. I’m so there, for the whole night. Oh yes. And that is a shame because the very same night, not that far away is Justin Townes Earl and the ever lovely and always my favorite girl in the room, Jessica Lea Mayfield at Lincoln Hall. Sigh.
September 22 – Dead Confederate is at the Double Door with Alberta Cross. And you know I loved that album. I can not wait to hear that live. See my review here.
September 24 – The Foals are at Lincoln Hall and I would so love to go to that but I don’t have a ticket and know no one who PRs them, so alas, I am just a lowly fan without a lover. Sniff, sniff… (that is sooooo sold out!)
September 26 – Drink Up Buttercup plays The Subterranean and thankfully Mike of QRO is going to cover that for us, for we will be exhausted!
September 27 – Women come to Schubas and I will not miss that come hell or high water because I love their album so damn much, I review it here.
September 28 – Elf Power is at the same club the very next night so I might as well bring my sleeping bag. And this is one of my all time favorite bands and I am so very excited to hear them, if you’ve not made their acquaintance yet you really should. They’ve been together for 16 years now and still going strong. Their latest album, Elf Power, is such a quintessentially Elf Power-ish record. See my review here.
September 30 – Gayngs are coming to Metro and you should go see this because it looks like it’s just plain fun. The press release says, “Ten of the twenty-plus contributors on the Relayted album will be there, including Justin Vernon and Mike Noyce of Bon Iver, ringleader Ryan Olson, Zak Coulter and Adam Hurlburt of Solid Gold. Jake Luck of Leisure Birds, Ivan Rosebud of The Rosebuds, Brad Cook and Joe Westerlund of Megafaun, and Mike Lewis of Andrew Bird and Happy Apple will all be there too!” Sometimes you have to be a star-chaser, ya know? The music is good too.
October 1 – Wintersleep, is a band who I somehow lost track of somewhere after their debut in 2003. I’ve been listening to that first record for ages now. And this latest one, New Inheritors, is promising to be huge! They’re touring with The Hold Steady and coming to Chicago’s Vic Theater, (where you can buy your tickets, cash only, at the box office and avoid fees.) This single, “Trace Decay” is quite polished and “indie-fied” compared to their early, early sound. But it’s powerful. I like it. It’s yours in return for your email address. That’s a small price to pay, now isn’t it?
October 10 – OK Go brings it all to the House of Blues and make sure you read this editorial in The Washington Post by Damian Kulash (lead singer in OK Go!) on Net Neutrality. “White Knuckles” is their newest single and they are having a remix contest, check it out here. And that’s as far as I got into my calendar. I’ll be in NYC the weekend of Oct. 8-9 so if you’re around, let’s say hi, xoxo
Today I bring you the first, in what I hope will be many guest posts, by a writer new to Chicago, Mike Gutierrez. He writes for QRO, Drowned In Sound, the Ampeater Review, and the Deli Magazine, and we’re very proud to have him dashing around here at the Shack! He’s also great company at a show, we had a blast at the Casiokids gig. They were really just too much fun, and even though I almost knocked down the guy in the monkey suit, I’m pretty sure he forgave me. No one could hold a grudge in that kind of atmosphere. They played all the upbeat songs from their new album, Topp stemning på lokal bar. But the one we danced the hardest, sweatiest and naughtiest to was definitely “Fot I Hose,” (literally translated, “foot in sock.”) Enjoy this really interesting remix by Captain Credible, and go buy the album, it’s gorgeous! Now scroll down and read Mike’s awesome show review.
A somewhat sleepy Schubas Tavern played host to Norwegian quintet Casiokids on Wednesday night, with the final song wrapping up well before the witching hour. C’mon Chicago. Foreign Policy just named you the 6th most influential city…in the world. Show some swagger. Cinderella stays out later than you. As it was Casiokids had barely hit full stride by the time the set was scheduled to end. Tough luck. Our loss, because the boys sounded great, mixing impeccable synth melodies with percussion that ran the gamut between disco thump and jammy bump.
America must have unrealistically high expectations for Scandinavian bands because the ones that make it over here- the Hives, the Sounds, Peter, Bjorn and John, Mew and Casiokids- are all pretty phenomenal. What makes the Scandinavian scene special is that the musicians feel no guilt about making their sound as sleek and sexy as possible. This is the land that gave us ABBA and Ace of Base. Casiokids continue the same tradition with the very pragmatic point-of-view that you don’t need to be producing shit-fi to count as underground. Sometimes touring partners Of Montreal are a good stateside touchpoint for Casiokids. Elegant sounding sweaty electrofunk that isn’t afraid to come off as the weensiest bit frou frou. They both come from the “don’t be ashamed to look like you’re trying” school of indie music.
That’s another way of saying they’ve got talent and aren’t afraid to show it off. The dark-haired multi-instrumentalist, who began the night centerstage on synth, played with one hand riding the keys while the other anticipated each note with a conductor’s flair. He knew the songs so well that he sang along to the other’s vocal parts….even though he wasn’t miked. The real singing duties were split between the two guys on his wings: one was a big rustic bear of a guy, the other a more effete cosmopolitan type. A nice Town & Country combo that gives the band a wider range of appeal than they might otherwise have.
The real star though is the rhythm section. If it’s not a dance number, it’s not a Casiokids song. Sure, a wall of dance tunes can come across as fairly soulless on record, but a live show is a whole different situation. Disco, New Wave, Electro, Funk; the band went through a lot of iterations by the end of the night, and they were all designed to rock your body. Apparently though Chicago was not in the mood to have its body rocked. A lot of heads bobbed, a few hips swayed. Local openers Light Pollution were brought on stage for some cowbellin’ during what amounted to the finale of an encore-less show. Good stuff, but not even the man in the monkey suit grinding in the audience (hellooooo Flaming Lips) was enough to trigger the dance party atmosphere that is Casiokids’ bread and butter. Better luck next stop: Detroit. Or as I lamely replied to the darkhaired multi-instrumentalist after the show: De-Twah? Never make this lame joke; especially not to a continental European, because you’ll get a mouthful of real French tossed back at you, and will feel like the fool you are.
Discovered by of Montreal, Casiokids have grown from a group banging out electro melodies on casio keyboards to include guitars and drums that makes electro-pop to make you move. You readers from the UK and Europe might have heard some of these songs already, but for this debut US release, all eight tracks have been re-mastered and are accompanied by a bonus disc of new material (including six remixes and two covers). These sixteen tracks are irresistibly catchy but also are drenched in emotive talent, and even though you won’t understand the lyrics unless you speak Norwegian, it absolutely won’t matter. At times this album is heartbreaking, and a song later you’re swinging your head to the beat, not caring who’s watching. Both moments are right, both are done so well on this record. Their label, Polyvinyl (the source of so many good things) describes their live show as, “ theatrical … incorporating a blend of shadow puppets, video projections and animal costumes… Casiokids generate the kind of unrestrained party mood that inevitably transforms any audience into a joyous, dancing mass.”
Chicago, come witness/participate in this on Wednesday at Schubas!
Watchman mp3 Peggy Sue, Fossils and Other Phantoms …. buy it! Peggy Sue comes to us June 14!!! Yay! Stream their new album here, it’s fantastic! This is billed as indie -folkish type music but oh jeeze it’s so much more. Do not let that scare you, excite you, limit your ears in any way. Peggy Sue is a trio that takes vocal harmonies, layers of sounds, some bluesy attitude, and at times very mild instrumentation, and flings it against your head in such a delicious manner. “Green Grow The Rushes” is just a woozy, wonderful trip of a song that recalls memories of canoes and languid afternoons lulled away with beautiful voices. Their opening track, “Long Division Blues” is just what I’ve come to expect from this quirky (very) British version of dramatical nicety. And I mean that in the most complimentary way! I put this in the very same category as that gorgeous Nic Dawson Kelly, from London. It’s a certain aesthetic that demands a building, soaring emotional point but also a kind of self-referential attitude to pull it all off. Charming, in every way, Peggy Sue definitely accomplish this with so much absolute talent and exquisite timing (especially seen in “Yo Mama” which I ADORE!) But I listen to the rest of the album, all its twelve tracks, and so many of them poignantly hearken back to the truly great English music of our past. The chilling “Matilda” echos a bit of Paige/Plant songwriting, I hear the delicate clockwork of instruments on “Fossils” and can think only of Ian Anderson’s flute. Of course, none of these recollections are obvious, nor are they intentionally brought forth. But the heritage in this music is strong. And the backbone of Fossils and Other Phantoms is straight and sure. Do promise me you’ll go listen to the record, it’s streaming over here. I really think you’ll want a copy for yourself. And more than that, you’ll want to see this band if only to prove to yourself just how ridiculous a label like “indie-folk” is for such a trio as this, xoxo

David Vandervelde is someone who, whenever he comes to town, I will drop whatever I’m doing and get myself to that gig. In fact, of the many, many great bands/artists Steve over at Baby You Got a Stew Goin has introduced me to, David Vandervelde is certainly in my top ten of favorites.
