Music For a Rainy Thursday Night; Raise High the Roof Beam

RaiseHigh

The best way to solve a dreary Chicago day is to end the evening with a decent drink and some good music. Well thank the lucky stars that for a measly $5 donation (recession friendly as well) you can get just that when Chicago outfit Raise High the Roof Beam play Quenchers this evening.

We first mentioned Raise High the Roof Beam when they played the last free Monday show over at the Empty Bottle in December. Since then the band has been busy working on music and playing to the masses with their delectable brand of indie pop-rock.

Come drown your rainy weather blues tonight (I'll be there with my umbrella and a beer), and check out a local act worth taking notice. The show starts at 9:00 pm and Quenchers is located at 2401 N. Western (the intersection of Western and Fullerton).

When talking musical influences with Helen Money, it's easy to forget her instrument of choice: cello. She references Bob Mould's Beaster, with its wall of sound and intense, thought-obliterating guitar work. She speaks of The Who and all the crazy rock bands she was exposed to in the '80s. "The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
