We thought it would be fun to share with all of you out there what we have been playing in the shop lately. We created a Spotify playlist with some of our faves of the last few weeks. It will be forever changing and updated so check back regularly. Everything in the playlist is for sale at the shop!!

We had a great show at the shop last night, three awesome and young local bands ripping it up. Care Center, Consumer. & Jen Fur were all in fine form!! So nice to see the fertile young Chicago music scene full of diversity and creativity, showing the old folks what's up and making our city proud. Our next show is gonna be a total psychedelic headtrip with two wonderful local bands. Brainwaiver and Slow Planes grace our "stage" on Saturday, January 28th. More details below.
Brainwaiver & Slow Planes
Saturday January 28th 6:30pm
Free/All Ages
Brainwaiver
Kosmiche, psych and space age traveling. What started as a weekly creative space and jam has evolved into a collaborative freeform four piece unit focused on improvisation and repetition. Angular guitar jangle, lingering drones, lurking low end melodies, and clamoring percussive phrasings.
Brainwaiver Bandcamp
Slow Planes
Slow Planes gather like flea market vendors in the back lot of the music economy, hawking burnished and shorthand chatter in the local shade. Specializing in a long-form improvised folk vernacular, over the past eight years the band has traded in minimal Americana, composition studies, altered states and bedroom experiments in three self released albums and multimedia collaborations. Approaching the familiar via the infinite. Offers accepted.
