So & So's Play Rock & Roll
Wednesday's show at the Double Door is possibly a glimpse of what would happen if we were lost at sea with a indie rock band and were trying to come up with songs to pass the time while succumbing to scurvy-induced hallucinations. Indianapolis-based Margot and the Nuclear So & So's (who I give props for name originality, and the crazy "kitten on fire" style artwork on their website) rock with a sweet guitar-cello-rhodes-crazy vocals kind of sound. Their music is filled with the contributions of their many band members' musical imput, as well as the creepy lyrics that are at the same time dark and day-dreamy. They might play "On a freezing Chicago street" or "Paper kitten nightmare", or maybe both. Support includes the Katie Todd Band with Bascom Hill starting the evening out. Tickets are $7, doors at 8pm, music at 9pm (just like counting!).
