Featured Review from flavorpill
May 08, 2012“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

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
May 06, 2012Chicago still likes to claim Quintron as one of its own—in the early 90s he played in Math and ran a Wicker Park space called Milk of Burgundy—but the keyboardist and singer has been inseparable from New Orleans since he met his wife and collaborator, puppeteer Miss Pussycat, while on tour there. more at chicagoreader.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
May 03, 2012Another rock band that says, “Yes, but what I really want to do is dance.” VHS or Beta met in the onetime indie mecca of Louisville (birthplace of Slint, Palace, and Rodan in its glory days) in 1997 and discovered that, besides indie rock, they were all kind of into disco, soul and French techno, too. So they started a band and people started dancing thinking they were listening to Duran Duran.

Featured Review from ChicagoInnerview
May 03, 2012With a name that references the videotape format wars of the ‘70s and ‘80s, VHS or Beta makes no secret about their retro proclivities. more at chicagoinnerview.com

April 30, 2012Ah, the Sea and Cake. I have such a soft spot in my heart for these easy-going Chicagoans who are surprisingly still popping along after all these years. more at ohmyrockness.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
April 30, 2012For most of its existence, the band P.G. Six—essentially singer and guitarist Pat Gubler, formerly of Tower Recordings, and whoever he’s rounded up to play with him—has trafficked in spaced-out psych-folk, and Gubler got there well before anyone applied the unfortunate term “freak folk” to such music. more at chicagoreader.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
April 30, 2012Brooklyn’s Suckers are a bright new pop band that makes music that reflects the pleasant, easy-going side of life. We can’t decide if these guys make me want to go surf, pitch a tent in the dirt of my pretend backyard, or create some sick slow motion home videos of rabbits wrestling. more at ohmyrockness.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
April 22, 2012For 25 years Japanese avant-prog group Ruins consisted of drummer, vocalist, and composer Tatsuya Yoshida and an electric bassist—he went through a few, and it must have been quite a task to find even one person capable of inhabiting his knotty, florid, frenzied, and exceedingly strange music with him. more at chicagoreader.com

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
April 17, 2012Chicago’s Rabid Rabbit may share some of the spirit of dazzlingly beautiful avant-heavy bands like Jesu and the now-defunct Isis, but takes the opposite approach, tearing the music down to its foundations and then adding on a new sub-basement or two. more at avclub.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
April 22, 2012Millions now living will never die…if you get off the couch and go see Tortoise bring rhythmic deliverance. The band’s dubby synths will stir up your dormant soul, their seductive ambience will provoke your spirit to awaken, and their jazzy sways shall make you rise up like Lazarus to live and see another day. more at ohmyrockness.com
