A little rain before the Lolla storm...
Have an interest in seeing a Lollapalooza artist, but not trying to fork over that much cash for one day?
Soulive makes an appearance at the Double Door tonight in support of their upcoming album, No Place Like Soul. From the previews on their site, there is a definite attempt to slow it down, to be a bit more than the "jam-funk band" this writer has called them at some points in the past. It's not bad to be a jam-funk band, it's just what they do well, and I don't suspect that a smaller, more intimate venue (than Grant Park, anyway) will lend itself to some of these new efforts. I expect they'll go with some upbeat stuff that will move asses off the wall and get heads nodding. Lord knows they've rocked it before.
Show starts at 10, doors open at 8. You weren't planning to get a full 8 hours of sleep before work tomorrow anyway. Tickets are $20 from our favorite ticket broker.
