TOMORROW: Liquid Soul and March Fourth at Lincoln Hall (21+) #HighlyRecommended
Monday, January 27, 2014
INCOMING: Nick Waterhouse at Lincoln Hall 2/21 #FreeStreaming #NewRelease
Nick Waterhouse is one of our current top favorites here at ChiIL Live Shows. So we're eagerly awaiting the March release of his new album, Holly. He'll be playing Lincoln Hall on February 21st in celebration of his latest release, as part of a nationwide tour.
We had the great pleasure of catching him twice last year, and shooting stills at Lincoln Hall. Click here to check out our prior coverage and more live Nick Waterhouse show shots.
NICK WATERHOUSE’S “THIS IS A GAME” VIDEO PREMIERES AT ESQUIRE
SOPHOMORE ALBUM HOLLY SET FOR MARCH 4 RELEASE ON INNOVATIVE LEISURE
NATIONWIDE TOUR DATES CONFIRMED
“A timeless talent…”—NPR’s “World Café”
“The real deal…”—GQ
“…he’s a tightly wound, meticulous rock & roll scholar who commands up to a dozen musicians onstage beside him with the authority of a seasoned bandleader.”—LA Weekly
The video for “This Is A Game,” the lead single off Nick Waterhouse’s latest album Holly (due March 4 on Innovative Leisure), is now streaming at Esquire http://bit.ly/1e2AdQQ. The new record, which follows Waterhouse’s 2012 debut Time’s All Gone, has received early critical acclaim—Rolling Stone explains “Nick Waterhouse is a soul man, through and through,” while Paste Magazine praises the music as a “…cohesive selection of work that, presented together, tells a story.” To celebrate the release, Waterhouse will embark on a nationwide tour. See below for details.
Holly was produced by Waterhouse and Kevin Augunas (Cold War Kids, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) and includes song writing collaborations with friend Ty Segall, as well as covers of tracks by Young Holt Trio and Mose Allison among others. Of the new music, Waterhouse notes, “Thematically this record feels more like a novella, or poem with sections, or even a film, than a collection of songs. It is a work of fiction, with a protagonist, but also a floating omniscient narrator, and fragments of conversation from other characters. I was heavily influenced by my surroundings in young Los Angeles, as well as the concept of fate.”
Waterhouse grew up in Huntington Beach, CA. He established his musical sensibilities in the middle of the burgeoning Southern California psych-garage scene, while retaining his unique perspective on the spirit of American rhythm & blues and rock & roll. Waterhouse started performing as a teenager. “I found it had the same feeling I got racing motorcycles as a kid, which is a fight-or-flight feeling of things happening in ‘real time’…I felt like that was the most focusing thing about playing music versus other forms of art. You have to live with what you do in an immediate moment,” he explains.

INCOMING: GoldFord Plays Lincoln Hall 1/31
Chi, IL Live Shows on Our Radar:
GoldFord will be direct support for Caleb Hawley (record release show) at Lincoln Hall on Friday, Jan. 31:
Shoeshine Boy Productions presents:
8:00 PM 21+ $12 Doors
It's almost too easy for Caleb Hawley to win over an audience. With his lightning guitar licks, irreverent choice of covers (Spice Girls?), and a voice - from soothing folk to powerhouse soul - that placed him in the final 50 on American Idol (2011), the shaggy-haired, blue-eyed soul singer is irresistible. So irresistible, that it's easy to overlook the power and truth in his songwriting. Raised outside Minneapolis, Caleb discovered his songwriting voice after earning a degree in jazz composition. Based in New York City since 2007, his self-described "folk infused rock 'n' soul" is sweeping songwriting contests across the country. Caleb is in currently in the final stages of his fourth studio album.
Jeffrey Goldford didn’t realize until he was 20 years old that he had a gift. College life loaned itself to a happy accident, when a group of his roommates overheard him singing to himself in the shower. Little did they know such a simple accidental discovery would unearth a once-in-a-lifetime kind of voice.
Tall Walker is a three-piece indie rock faction from Chicago, IL with a sound that is pop sensible, rock friendly and sonically reminiscent of early U2. From the soft and sensitive, to the raucous and fuzzy, they entice with powerful delivery and thought provoking lyrics. Brought to life by recent Chicago transplant Nick Bays and Chris Hershman, Tall Walker spent most of 2012 in the fetal stages. With the addition of Ben Johnson on drums the trio has started recording selections from their catalog and is building a fan base in Chicago and Bays’s home state of South Carolina.
Mighty Fox isn't just a musical project but rather a journey. As an up-and-coming group based in Chicago that has already gotten industry professionals stirring, it’s clear that this project is more than just a “band” but rather a way of life for the musicians involved. Each song has the listener noticing the many different artists that influence Mighty Fox and how they’ve effected the lives of the members. With bands like Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, U2, Mumford & Sons, and Go Radio being considered substantial influences, Mighty Fox has a very well rounded sound that anyone and everyone can relate to and enjoy. Don’t let the names fool you though. Mighty Fox has definitely found a sound of their own which translates incredibly to their live show.

Spiritualized at Lincoln Hall 7-12-13 #originalphotos
I had the pleasure of shooting Spiritualized for ChiIL Live Shows at Lincoln Hall in Chicago 7/12/13. Check out our original show shots right here.
Sweet Heart Sweet Light
"When you make a record, it has to be the single most important thing in your world. This time around, I wanted to do something that encompassed all I love in rock 'n' roll music. It's got everything from Brtzmann and Berry right through to Dennis and Brian Wilson. I'm obsessed with music and the way you put it together and I don't believe there are any rules." So says, J. Spaceman, commenting on the recording of his new album, Sweet Heart Sweet Light, which was released on Mississippi-based independent Fat Possum in March 2012.
Recorded over the past two years in Wales, Los Angeles and Reykjavik, and mixed for a year in the confines of his own home, Sweet Heart Sweet Light was Spiritualized's seventh studio album and the first release since last year's epic Radio City Music Hall rendering of their 1997 game changer Ladies In Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space.
Coming four years after release of the internationally acclaimed Songs In A&E,Sweet Heart Sweet Light was one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2012. Taking musical risks is a hallmark of Spiritualized's outlook.
Witness them playing the new album, unannounced, from start to finish live at London's historic Royal Albert Hall - something unheard of in today's clamour for instant hit gratification. As J.Spacemen says "I don't believe there are any rules" and this album will testify to that.

TONIGHT: Disappears at Lincoln Hall EP Release 4/20
DISAPPEARS
Photo Credit: Zoran Orlic
ChiIL Live Shows will be there tonight... will YOU?! We first discovered Disappears by accident at Lollapalooza. Enroute to some other act we came to a screeching halt as soon as we heard them and stayed the whole set! While we were there a bunch of other wanderers kept getting sucked in and asking "Who is that band?!" Since then we've been stalking them around Chi-town and enjoying their rise.
Check back like we vote in Chi, IL... early and often. We'll have Lincoln Hall show shots up shortly. And if you're 21+ get out and see them LIVE at Lincoln Hall tonight.
Disappears will be bringing their high intensity live show and swirling brand of drone-y psych rock to Chicago TONIGHT, Thursday, April 18th at Lincoln Hall. The repetitive, pummeling beat that snakes through their newest EP, Kone, highlights the band's post-punk, experimental guitar-driven style and elevates the sound to the next level.
The Quietus describe the fervency of the title track, "Kone (Edit)" as "echoed howls over a circular, sparse post-punk core, one which feels like it's barely keeping a torrent of motorik fury at bay. As the track closes, the dissonant noise rears up again, only this time its a controlled feedback-storm, eventually coming into its own as the other instruments fall out, leaving it hanging there, a quivering, metallic spectre."
Kone will be out April 20th with new material to follow later this year, but for now, check out Disappears in person for a night of fierce electricity.
Check out the Disappears hypnotic and melodic video for the title and main track "Kone (Edit)" from their forthcoming EP to be released April 20th.
"Kone (Edit)" was recently premiere on UK site The Quietus, who call the ten minute epic an "incantatory, long-form cut, and one that promises big things from the band's next album," with a surging "torrent of motorik fury" that gets leveled out towards the end as the "dissonant noise rears up again, only this time its a controlled feedback-storm, eventually coming into its own as the other instruments fall out, leaving it hanging there, a quivering, metallic spectre."
Disappears, known for their mesmerizing and electric live shows are about to hit the road for a run of US dates, be sure to catch them. All dates are listed below.
What makes people respond to something? Is it honesty? Anyone can be true, say what makes sense to them - talk about how they feel. It’s especially tricky to answer this question in a world where it’s never been easier to be heard, but never been harder to get anyone to listen.
It can be confusing doing something when it’s all you know. It means you are constantly sacrificing, whatever it is, to try and get someone to see things your way. It’s personal and it’s a message not everyone will receive. Friendships disintegrate, patterns becoming habits and everyday you wake up the world you know is different. Still, we make ways to relate with people, we search out meaning and make sense of our surroundings.
These are themes Disappears have been working out since their formation in 2008. Over the course of three full lengths in three years for the esteemed Kranky imprint, Disappears have taken the raw energy and intensity of post-punk and filtered it into the repetition of dub and minimalism.
With the recent and amicable departure of Steve Shelly, Disappears return with the Kone EP, 30+ minutes of new music that asks the listener to do something rare these days – listen. Abstract and experimental, Disappears use the 12” format to it’s full potential – take chances and get weird. Recorded in Chicago at Minbal and mixed in Dallas by John Congleton, Kone takes every opportunity to stretch out into the void and roar.
Following the April 16th release date, Disappears will be touring the US this Spring as they put the finishing touches on their new LP to be released later 2013.
