The Hold Steady scorches The House of Blues (1/15)
This probably isn’t news to a lot of you, but this past Thursday, January 15th, was the coldest Chicago winter day in twenty years. Not exactly the most ideal concert-going weather. Frostbite was rampant, your nose looked like an icicle to the point where you felt like Snow Meiser from The Year Without A Santa [...]
The Ting Tings to bring the ting back to U.S.
By now, most of us know The Ting Tings, or at least heard one of their head-bobbing selections at some point in time. In fact, regardless of what you though of the British duo’s debut album, We Started Nothing, and the slew of Apple-friendly singles that followed, it’s hard not to argue that Katie White [...]
CoS at Tomorrow Never Knows: Night Four (1/17)
Call it a warm spell, but when snow is falling and ice is melting, that’s always a good sign that things aren’t quite as cold as they should be. So naturally, people were out in full force on Saturday night, looking for a place to “get their freak on”, and while any bar in Wrigleyville [...]
Watch: Fleet Foxes and special guest take to SNL
Because a.) everyone and their mother will be posting the same clips over and over again and b.) we don’t really feel like dealing with NBC’s uber frustrating copyright policy, we decided to go a different route in covering Fleet Foxes‘ performance on Saturday Night Live yesterday. The more funny one. A quick search on [...]
Check Out: We Are One
There isn’t much left to say about the election of Barack Obama and his impending Inauguration on Tuesday. The same is the case for today’s pre-Inauguration ceremonies; appropriately titled We Are One, the star-studded, must-see concert/celebration officially kicks of at 2:30 p.m. EST and is essentially available to any and everyone. So rather than bore [...]
CoS at Tomorrow Never Knows: Night Three (1/16)
Chicago loves Cursive. That much was obvious last night at Schubas, on the sold out, third night of Tomorrow Never Knows. People were everywhere. If they weren’t huddled at the bar, they were frolicking to and from the photo booths and restrooms, making the cocktail waitresses’ jobs that much more complicated. These were dedicated fans [...]
Where We Live: Cat’s Cradle – Carrboro, NC
In the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indy and his father (Henry Sr. to be specific) are forced to go to a Nazi Rally in order to obtain a diary that would lead said father and son to the legendary Holy Grail. I understand how they must have felt, for I too have [...]
Watch: Arctic Monkeys’ “Pretty Visitors”
Earlier this week, the Arctic Monkeys sent the music world, and more specifically our friends overseas, into a tailspin after debuting four brand new selections from their forthcoming new studio album at a concert in New Zealand. Since then, we’ve obsessively been searching YouTube in hopes of finding footage of this earth-shattering event, and finally [...]
Gentlemen Reg, Bell Orchestre add to Canadian dominance
It’s no secret our neighbors up north have a pretty good taste in music. After all, one look at the list of bands and artists who call Canada their home (see Wiki if you need a refresher), and it’s enough to make any music fan tingle all over. So it’s not surprising that Canadian musicians [...]
