Walter Meego On The Cusp Of "Wonder"
What a better way to spend a Friday night than with some old friends. Walter Meego may spend their days in LA now, but the pop group is originally from Chicago, and tomorrow they return home to the Empty Bottle for their "FIRST SHOW WITH THE NEW ALBUM. SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. EXCLAMATION POINT!"
It's been a couple of years since we heard much of anything from the band, but this summer they completed work on their second album, Wondervalley. No word yet on when it will be released, but judging by the rough demos on their blog, it's sure to be filled with the same dizzying dream pop as their '08 debut Voyager that keeps dancefloors busy. The group is also boasting a new 5 person lineup.
It sounds like the Walter Meego crew is on the cusp of some exciting times; a great time to see them at an intimate venue like the Bottle. Show starts at $10pm. Local electroacoustic group The Single Helix opens. Tickets are $8. 1035 N. Western. 21 & up.

They are a really cool band. I remember my friend introduced me to them about 4 years ago before they became super successful. I would see handwritten posters in Chicago advertising their shows. By the way, anyone who hasn't been to their website should go to it! It's fun and dizzying!
