Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
September 01, 2010Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’s third record opens with co-frontmen John Robert Cardwell and Philip Dickey singing in their similarly comfortable and youthful voices, “We’re going to make it last.” At album’s end, on “Made to Last,” Cardwell laments, “Nothing’s made to last these days.” In between lies a surprisingly touching tale of four dudes dealing with the disappointments of growing up—both in life and in a rock band (with a silly name). more at chicago.timeout.com
Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
August 26, 2010Seattle’s Telekinesis is the one-man power pop project of, well, one man. His name is Michael Benjamin Lerner (though live, this is a band of four) and he writes and sings and plays pretty much all the instruments on his recordings (perhaps to prove to Dave Grohl that he’s not the only dude from Seattle that can do that). more at chicago.ohmyrockness.com

Featured Review from flavorpill
June 30, 2010The electric defibrillator paddles that briefly appear onstage during the Second City e.t.c.‘s new sketch revue are an apt metaphor for the show itself, a shocking jolt to the system designed to rouse us from our current malaise. From the winkingly overconfident title and rhythmic interstitial drumming to the outrageous distaff hip-hop and a prom scene featuring an audience member, director Billy Bungeroth’s sensibility is loud, strong and unapologetic. His premise, that the cash-rich, low-unemployment, prewar 1990s were the best time ever, is ultimately a sardonic rejection of instant nostalgia; still, Tom Flanigan’s musical Tea Party takedown and a well-aimed swipe at self-appointed medical expert Jenny McCarthy will make you yearn wistfully for a more rational public discourse.

TimeOutChicago on Adventures in Modern Music Edition Sonar':The Rhys Chatham Trio @ Museum of Contemporary Art
1 day agoRhys Chatham came to notice in the ’70s, swimming in the same downtown Manhattan scene that spit out Sonic Youth. Best remembered for droning, minimal masterpieces like “Guitar Trio” and “Die Donnergötter,” the classically trained New Yorker inspired Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and countless other noisemongers. When his adopted hometown of Paris commissioned him to write a piece for 400 guitars in 2005, Chatham gamely whipped up A Crimson Grail. Inside the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, the composition was performed by just 125 guitars, yet it was anything but a compromise. more at chicago.timeout.com

TimeOutChicago on Vampire Weekend, Beach House, and Dum Dum Girls @ Aragon Ballroom
1 day agoVampire Weekend’s 2010 sophomore triumph, Contra, sports a model on the cover. It’s fitting, as the band brings to mind a sage fashion maxim that applies to all art: Before you go out, look in the mirror and take two things off. Everything about the Manhattan band, from fonts and polos to snares and synthesizers, speaks to a clear vision and sense of style. The quartet’s two self-produced albums are packed with subtle varieties of sonic textures both organic and synthetic, but direct, uncluttered and well designed. more at chicago.timeout.com
TimeOutChicago on Hallogallo 2010, Michael Rother and Friends Perform the Music of NEU!, Disappears @ Lincoln Hall
1 day agoIf one threw all of rock & roll in a pot and boiled the genre down to two essential riffs, left at the bottom in perfectly formed globs would be Willie Dixon’s “Hoochie Coochie Man” and Neu!’s “Hallogallo.” Perhaps the most foundational sound not to come from somewhere along the Mississippi River, “Hallogallo” was the creation of two shaggy German psychedelic freaks, yet pure and clean in its simplicity. more at chicago.timeout.com
