Reppin' the Midwest with some of the best from Chi. Man, Chicago is a beast when it comes to hogging on some good shows*. I'd liken it to 98 pound lightweight and a silverback competing for the same bunch of bananas. There's just no contest. I'm maybe gonna have to move there or something. New news out this week on stuff going on in the
Animate Objects family. Actually, though I've been listening to them for a while now (that's some good underground / conscious / eclectic stuff there for you, if you didn't know) I didn't know there was an AO family. Just took a listen to some of
S Squair Blaq,
The Square Black Frames,
Sonar Soul and
Danya and the Fail, and that is some underrated hotness right there. Generally I use last.fm as a gauge on where an artist falls on the popularity-obscurity scale; these are so far towards the end that I'd have to label them "bands that don't even exist yet". So good, though. And the greater family as a whole is pretty busy in the next few weeks with shows and listening parties and all sorts of friendly goodness.
Couldn't do this right without putting some links in, aye? Start here to put some
sounds in your ear. Then when it's seeped in real good and deep, jump over to look at the
tour dates (both of those I'm listing below are FREE, by the by). If you don't want to get up and go, I suggest you get yourself to a doctor. You might be dead.
June 25, Chicago, IL, Animate Objects"High Notes for Low Fives" listening party @ Lokal

the one this saturday is possible for me to make it, but the other one I'll be at GA. but I actually probably can't really make the one this saturday because I have an insane amount of stuff to get together for GA.
Did you make it? I hear the best cure for insane amounts of stuff to do is wicked fun dance parties.
