Airiel at the Metro - No Cheaper Than Free!!
Usually when a band thing ends up in my My Space box, it goes straight to the trash can. Sorry, but I don't want to catch a bunch of day-job accountants hashing out Seger tunes at the Schaumburg Flinger's. Such was decidedly NOT the case with Chicagoans Airiel. They have sort of an interesting My Bloody Valentine-meets-Neutral Milk Hotel dream pop thing going that is catchy, and as polished and fully formed conceptually as anything of the sort that I have heard locally. I have yet to catch them live, but I am going to try to see them on Saturday when they play a show at the Metro with Office and Slings & Arrows. Best of all, go before 9 pm and it is free with a downloadable ticket from their website. Even after, it is only $6 measly bucks with the ticket, $9 full price.
