The Queensmen take to The Note
I've seen The Queensmen at so many different, semi-strange venues (outside at a college, South Union Arts) that at this point the combination of the band's polished 60s mod-pop and a general feeling of adventure has taken on a Pavlovian quality in my mind -- so much so that every time I see someone in a sharp suit I gear up to down a beer and encounter oddness.
Which is why Friday's show at The Note promises to be an interesting one -- onstage at a proper venue with a stellar soundsystem, The Queensmen will have ample opportunity to bring some class to the preening hipster mob that's overrun Wicker Park. There's no studiously practiced irony here, no bandannas or skinny jeans, just angular, melodic guitar-pop performed by three guys in sharp suits. How can you refuse?
The Queensmen at The Note, Friday, Sept. 28, 930pm, 21+. With Deals Gone Bad.
