One Last Holiday Party...
No, the holidays aren’t quite over yet. Squeezing the last life out of this time of year, promoters Victim of Time will be hosting one more holiday party. Though it might have been more accurate to allude to a hungover Santa, the “Drunk Santa Holiday Party” is put up at the Cobra Lounge, showcasing a few small local Chicago acts. Oh yea, and it’s FREE.
A piece of advice, skip The Smith Westerns. They produce a lot of noise and very little music. In other realms this could be it’s own artistic expression, but The Smith Westerns do it badly, and (or so it appears) on purpose. Joke bands are fun and all, but in this case, even at a free show, it’s just not worth it.
For those who’ve always wanted to catch a band in its inception, Headspacer could promise to be a band to love later on. This is their first show, so come on down to meet the newest addition to the Chicago scene. “Farmer” has a damn catchy riff that keeps you listening through the mush that resulted from recording a song on a $15 tape deck (a fact they boast about unapologetically). If their other material is like this at all, and the Cobra P.A. system is anything above a MacBook built-in microphone, Headspacer will make for a good time.
Lover! is the band you want to see. They’re lively and upbeat and play a great kind of lo-fi, no frills rock. They’ve got a new single out this year, featuring the song “Forced to the Ground.” Ever wonder what would happen if the Beach Boys decided to take a dark turn in their music? Check out this band.
The show starts at 10 tonight at The Cobra Lounge, and is 21+.
