I usually dread Mondays, but this week it's little difference as it's my first full week in Chicago (one of my favorite cities in the states). I made the move from Phoenix last week and am excited for dozens of reasons, but mostly Chicago has a fantastic indie music scene. So in celebration I thought I'd bring you something from one of my favorite indie guys out of Chicago, Lee Dewyze. It's a perfect jam for a summer in Chicago. Check out "All Right:"
All little jam is just what I needed this Monday afternoon, and that's what you'll get with The Beautiful Girls. Check out "Dela" from their Controlled Substance release Ziggurats.
It's been awhile since I've brought you guys anything from the Roger Clyne's Turbo Ocho series, and this Arizona heat is just screaming for some Peacemakers.
I love this band, 300 Pounds. Started as the solo project of Nate Lieby back in 2002, 300 Pounds has finally come into its own with it's latest album, The Emmeryville Project.
This talented group is just good old fashioned rock, and with roots in open mic and dive bar shows, I hear they put on a pretty fantastic show. Check out "Without Direction" from their latest:
I've a fan of Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers for awhile now, but I just came across this fantastic VidCast of theirs, Turbo Ocho.
The band and crew set up a house in Rocky Point, Mexico with the intention of co-creating and recording eight songs in eight days. The goal was to create and share...from inspiration to the final mix. It's a pretty fantastic series that I'll be bringing to you over the next few weeks.
