Secret Colours @ Beat Kitchen
At times it seems like one genre explodes while another fades, but it is more likely that you become more aware of certain genres at certain times. For the last few months I have been listening closely to one of the genres that are becoming more and more dominant here in Chicago, and that genre is psychedelic rock. One of my favorite new bands in that genre is Secret Colours. Tommy Evans, Dave Stach, Dylan Olson, Justin Frederick, and Margaret Albright blend late '60s psychedelia with '90s newgaze to create a forceful and compelling sound. A great example of their sound would the cover of The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" that the band released for free this week.
Secrect Colours' self-titled debut album was released earlier this month digitally through bandcamp, and they are celebrating the release this Saturday (Aug. 14th) at Beat Kitchen with the like minded band Panda Riot and Geronimo. The show starts at 10pm and tickets are $10.
