Goodbye Good Sense @ Bottom Lounge, 3/19
Over the past decade experimental rock has gradually taken the backseat to power pop and indie. It seems as though bands like At The Drive In are fewer and farther between than ever before. That's exactly why fans of current incarnations of the genre such as Circa Survive and Coheed and Cambria should take note of up and coming Chicagoans Goodbye Good Sense.
After two years of writing and just under a year of playing shows, Goodbye Good Sense are finally ready to record and release their brand of riff-heavy rock. The band has posted a free 3-song teaser EP for download to tide fans over until its first full-length is released this summer. If the songs on this EP are any indication of what's to come from these newcomers, expect some seriously technical musicianship and an inventive disregard for traditional 4/4-time rhythms.
Goodbye Good Sense will be playing this Saturday, March 19, at the Bottom Lounge (1375 W. Lake St.) with fellow Chicago rockers The Action Blast, Red Novella, Footlight Frenzy and The Exo Skeleton. The show is +17 and starts at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10.
