A Wolf at the Door
Hip-hop-tinged indie rockers WHY? might not be the most approachable band on paper, and frontman Yoni's dry vocals aren't predicted to make a Zach Braff soundtrack anytime soon. But his older brother Josiah Wolf stepped out from behind the drum kit long enough to make his own record this year, and lil' brother Yoni was kind enough to man the boards for his debut album, Jet Lag. The final product ditches the detachement and pushes into pop territory, and Josiah resides in more plaintive vocals than his brother.
If you'd like to get into the light-psych of this big (not bad) Wolf, he'll be stopping through Chicago this Friday at Schubas to support his just-released album. Local rapper Serengeti and soft post-rockers Northpilot open; Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door.
