Give It The Once Around
A couple of years ago I was really into this Red Hash album by a guy named Gary Higgins. It was recorded in 1973, and gave you the feeling of sitting with group of friends under a tree playing guitar while the girls make flower crowns. The new album by Autumn Defense, Once Around, has that same kind of sunny, lens filtered 70's vibe.
John Stirratt and Pat Sansone comprise the band, and while they're probably better known for their roles in Wilco, Autumn Defense is still more than just a side project. A duo for almost ten years, Once Around is their fourth record together. Tomorrow night they come home to Chicago closing out a short tour at Lincoln Hall. You can also catch Stirrat at Johalla Projects (1561 N. Milwaukee, second floor) tonight from 8-11pm, where he will be signing copies of his new book of photos taken while on tour with Wilco, 100 Polaroids.
Tickets for Saturday are $15. Show starts at 10pm. Sarah Lee and Johnny open. 21 & up. 2424 N. Lincoln Ave.
