      Featured Review from flavorpill

      May 02, 2012

      “Stop us if you’ve heard this one: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Over the past 30 years Lifeline Theatre has made its name by staging classic literary titles, and they don’t get much more classic than the most beloved novel of all time, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. In this charming rendition, Lifeline’s appealing cast deftly brings to life the drawing-room humor and sweetly sincere pathos of the well-worn original, with nary a zombie in sight.”

      “Now that Snoop is arguably a pop-culture punch line and Cypress Hill hasn’t impressed in years, it’s time to crown a new weed bard. In our humble opinion, that man is Curren$y. Slow yet lucid jams like “Silence,” from Pilot Talk II, are pretty perfect for all your toking needs — not to mention thematically appropriate. He returns to Metro with fellow Jet Life crew members and, presumably, some other buds, too.” more at flavorpill.com

      February 10, 2011

      The Neofuturists’ winning theatrical formula is based upon frenetic performance that turns on a dime. Their signature show, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, with 30 ever-changing plays performed in 60 minutes, lands many of its laughs from the jarring transitions between plays with wildly different tones and subjects. more at flavorpill.com

      flavorpill on M. Ward @ The Vic Theatre

      “It's still hard to believe that we will most likely never hear a new Sonic Youth record, but at least the blow is softened somewhat by the fact that Lee Ranaldo's new solo record is really good. more at flavorpill.com

      flavorpill on Ane Brun, Gemma Ray @ Lincoln Hall

      5 days ago

      “Norwegian songstress Ane Brun may best be described to American audiences as the thinking-Scandinavian-man's Dolly Parton. Brun's blissful vocals evoke the innocence and clarity of a wide-eyed ingenue, but her insightful lyrics dispel any charges of coyness or naivete. Changing of the Seasons (2008) was an impressive affair and more accessible than 2005's A Temporary Dive (whose darkness was perhaps the result of her jam sessions with fellow Scandinavians a-ha).

      flavorpill on Dark Dark Dark, Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside, Pillars & Tongues @ The Hideout

      5 days ago

      “With folksy, stripped-down arrangements of accordion, banjo, strings, and vocals, Minneapolis' Dark Dark Dark bring to mind Beirut, a Hawk & a Hacksaw, or DeVotchKa, but with a sound that's all their own. Their songs fit the moniker, evoking the northern winters of their origins with a sweetly melodic core. And should things get too dour, songs like "Trouble No More" reassure audiences that DDD are ready to stomp around a little.” Karsten Lund, Flavorpill more at flavorpill.com

      The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Tour When: May 21–22Daily (8pm) Where: The Chicago Theatre “No one ever thought the Beach Boys would truly reunite, but somehow the band pulled it together for their 50th anniversary. With their creative genius, Brian Wilson, happy as a solo artist in his own world for years, and two halfhearted touring versions of the band (with only one or two original members each), their legacy was diluted for a while, but don't miss your chance to see the band as it should be because you never know if they'll do it again.” Paul Salfen, Flavorpill more at flavorpill.com

      flavorpill on Allo Darlin', The Wave Pictures, The Halamays @ Schubas

      13 days ago

      “Could Allo Darlin' be the indie-pop Messiah? It's not out of the realm given the inspired twee found on Europe, the band's latest release via Slumberland Records. Based in London, the outfit came together in 2009 when Aussie-born singer/uke strummer Elizabeth Morris (ex-Talulah Gosh, Tender Trap) connected with Paul Rains (guitar), Bill Botting (bass), and Michael Collins (drums). Their self-titled debut earned them a spot in the pop guard and their sophomore effort, with its catchy anthems and Morris' delicate yet assured vocals and rich lyrics, is certain to bring new minions into the fold. Tonight, Morris' quartet is supported by the Wave Pictures, a fun British trio which takes direction from the Modern Lovers.” Mindy Bond, Flavorpill more at flavorpill.com

      flavorpill on La Sera, Videotape, Chaperone @ Township (formerly Pancho's)

      13 days ago

      “La Sera is the side project of Vivian Girls' Katy Goodman, and it draws on the same classic Ramones vs. girl group influences as her "other" band. If such things are your bag, we have a feeling you'll find a lot to like in her latest album, Sees the Light (Hardly Art, 2012). Check out the video for "Please Be My Third Eye," directed by Vice Cooler (aka Hawnay Troof), who's rather overdue a new album himself.” Tom Hawking, Flavorpill more at flavorpill.com

      flavorpill on Reggie Watts @ The Vic Theatre

      13 days ago

      “Last year, Seattle expat Reggie Watts performed in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden in his adopted NYC, singing a duet with James Murphy at LCD Soundsystem's final show. But being a soul crooner is just a side gig for Watts; his main bag these days is a brand of loopy, improvisational musical comedy that has landed him gigs as illustrious as opening for Conan O'Brien on the "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour." Watts will bust you up laughing, but his looped-on-the-fly beatboxing and a capella is serious bizness.” Eric Grandy, Flavorpill more at flavorpill.com

      flavorpill on Killer Moon (record release), Creepy Band, Alma Negra @ Empty Bottle

      15 days ago

      “Chicago-based trio Killer Moon describe themselves as "a psychedelic jam band with classic rock and doomy sludge undertones," which is too spot-on for us to meddle with. Tracks like "Summer" and "Tunnel Vision" would fit comfortably in either the local psych-rock circle or Chicago's bastion of progressive (which is not to say prog) metal. (The band's long-gestating LP Tunnel Vision — which gets the record-release toast at this Empty Bottle gig — is produced by local go-to metal butterfly Sanford Parker.) Like-minded Alma Negra and theatrical sideshow punks Creepy Band open.” more at flavorpill.com

      flavorpill on SOLD OUT! Ty Segall, White Fence, Strange Boys, Bitchin Bajas @ Lincoln Hall

      15 days ago

      “From his lowly(ish) beginnings in 2008 as a (eponymous) man and his guitar, Ty Segall has quickly established himself as a forerunner in the Bay Area garage scene, standing tall alongside bands like Thee Oh Sees and Shannon and the Clams. His 2011 release, Goodbye Bread (Drag City), was a slower lurch than his previous three albums, more Iggy Pop than the Seeds, but just as kick-ass in the way that only real rock 'n' roll can be. more at flavorpill.com
