Falling in Love All Over Again
Chicago has a certain love affair with French Kicks. The Brooklyn-based quartet tour through the area often, and each time our city’s little heart goes pitter-pat (though not Pit Er Pat. That’s an entirely different, although equally awesome local band). French Kicks' post-punk sensibility, combined with a bit of throwback synth happiness, makes for tasty treats such as their albums Trial of the Century and 2006’s Two Thousand.
Take in an eyeful of the Kicks when they play at Schubas on Weds., January 10 with the indie, atmospheric, Champaign rockers Headlights, local indie/old tymers Skybox, and Eagle Seagull. Local hip hop turntablist/mishmashers Flosstradamus will be playing upstairs, more than likely beckoning listeners to “throw their hands in the air” as the kids are wont to do nowadays.
