4/20 Is A Day For Music
If you didn't know that 4/20 was officially the best day to go out and see live music, you've been "officially" informed. Here is a list of shows that offer the best chances to get high. (on music, what else?)
Backyard Tire Fire, New Monsoon and JJ Grey and MOFRO - House of Blues, 9 p.m., $18.50. This show provides a great mix of four acts dropping lots of funk and world-music inspired jazz glazed with rock.
Brothers Past with openers Orchard Lounge - Beat Kitchen, 9 p.m., $10 - Brothers Past drive home a flavored mix of electronica and rock that breaks a sweat.
e.s.t. (Esbjorn Svensson Trio) - Hothouse, 9 and 10:30 p.m, $20. Smooth jazz Swedes that may throw in electronic grooves or rock riffs making mesmerizing mind music.
Mono, World's End Girlfriend and The Drift - Empty Bottle, 9:30 p.m., $20. If you like ambitous, driving sounds then Mono's experimental power-psych is just right. (more from earlier post)
Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon - Zentra, 9 p.m., Free before 11 with RSVP. Chicago House second gen master vs.one of his pupils. Zentra has free drinks from 9-11 which is key because the place is full of yuppies-in-training.
Abstract Giants, Glue, Agents of Change and Heiruspecs. Abbey Pub, 8 p.m., $12. Organic Hip-hop with lots of styles and sounds.
