Hoodoo Gurus
Where: The Middle East Downstairs
Date: 2007-09-08 20:00:00
Type:
For over twenty years and eight albums, Australia's Hoodoo Gurus have given the world a dozen classic anthems, topped the charts and gained cult hero status.
Portugal the Man (Ex-Anatomy of A Ghost)
Where: The Middle East (upstairs)
Date: 2007-08-12 20:30:00
Type:
Portugal the Man is a soul/progressive/grime trio from Wasilla, Alaska. Russian Circles is a three piece instrumental band from Chicago. It would be tough to imagine that a band would be able to develop its own unique presence and innovation with such solid groundwork in the instrumental genre. However, Russian Circles does bring something new to the table. Their songs feel incredibly narrative and linear. There is no angular flash or mathematical flair. These songs stream through themes and by no means build on just one repeating idea. They are gargantuan in scope. They flow seamlessly from beautiful soft ambience to truly defined melody to massively thick heaviness with a gradual progression that never leaves you lost. Variety is no gimmick and they are a band that does not just vacillate within an achieved sonic identity.
Maritime
Where: The Middle East
Date: 2007-11-28 21:00:00
Type:
Maritime consists of members of Promise Ring and Dismemberment Plan. Chicago's Bound Stems come from different backgrounds, playing pop music founded on secretly complicated rhythmic structures. Male vocals and female harmonies build narratives off scenes summoned by the instruments and by a library of stolen sounds that emigrated to their songs: grandmas, crafty cabbies, trains, party laughter, turnstiles, storytellers and a fieldsworth of crickets. It's approachable music; it sounds like they knocked themselves out, which they did, and it also sounds like a pleasure to dive headfirst into.
The Samples, Die Mannequin
Where: The Middle East (upstairs)
Date: 2007-11-16 20:00:00
Type:
One of the most consistently popular touring acts in the country, The Samples have built a huge grass-roots following for their jazz-tinged pop. Shannon McNally writes rootsy midtempo songs with an organic, absolute sense of pop.
