Concert Thu Nov 19 2009
Owen @ Andrew Rafacz Gallery
The last time I saw a Kinsella brothers project it was Joan of Arc at the Beat Kitchen in the summer of 2008. The place was packed and the show was ended with a cover of Neil Young's "A Man Needs A Maid". It is always been hit or miss with the Cap'n Jazz derived bands, some more likable than others. Regardless, the guys have been a staple of Chicago's music scene for over 15 years. Owen, the solo project of Mike Kinsella is one of the better known bands and recently he released a fifth studio album entitled New Leaves on Polyvinyl Records. Owen plays an all ages show tonight at the Andrew Rafacz Gallery along with local minimalists Bikes will Take Us. Expect a communal acoustic vibe with lots of sad songs. The Andrew Rafacz Gallery is located at 835 W. Washington Blvd. The show is $10 at the door, $8 on the Empty Bottle's Website. The show starts at 8:00.
