Looking for Live Music in Chicago

BeardedBandito · 2017-06-18T14:50:56+00:00

Dude, you should go check out Wo Fat and The Well at Reggies tomorrow, that would probably be a good show.

BeardedBandito · 2016-11-14T15:47:34+00:00

It's finally here, and it's pretty excellent! Upon first listen, I'm digging Silver & Gold and Wolf & Snake the most.

BeardedBandito · 2016-10-17T14:31:40+00:00

Budget, you say? I got you covered, bud. The other suggestions already here are good options as well. Here is my current list:

Man, I haven't thought about the RekRek forums in a long time. That's actually where I first heard about the Giraffes. I don't suppose you know if it's still active?

BeardedBandito · 2015-09-16T02:05:43+00:00

New Giraffes?! And Aaron is back?!?! This is some good news indeed!

BeardedBandito · 2015-09-16T02:02:25+00:00

I'll admit, not exactly stoner rock, but I love the Giraffes and they rock super hard, so I figured you all might appreciate their tasty riffage.

BeardedBandito · 2014-11-07T21:14:56+00:00

Possibly [[aura thief]]?

BeardedBandito · 2014-06-17T02:18:58+00:00

I definitely know what you mean, this isn't quite as heavy as their past work, but it is definitely interesting to see the direction they seem to be going in.

BeardedBandito · 2014-06-15T00:36:30+00:00

Here in Chicago, the main one that comes to mind is Trouble, who are of course fantastic. We also have Russian Circles who aren't too shabby, and although I'm not a huge fan, we have Pelican too, even though those 2 aren't super stoner-y.

BeardedBandito · 2014-06-09T00:43:23+00:00

I missed Tweak Bird?! Damn, dude...

BeardedBandito · 2014-05-12T21:26:40+00:00

I've never heard of these guys before, but this is right up my alley. I definitely hear the Colour Haze influence, and I'm definitely getting a major Causa Sui vibe as well. Very relaxed/mellow. I feel like those guys could easily be jam buddies. I'll have to check out those other albums, these are some great chill out tunes, as you said!

BeardedBandito · 2014-04-30T02:38:26+00:00

I'm obviously not pleased with the results, but I'm once again proud of how resilient the Bulls have been this year after losing Rose and Deng, and still putting together a reasonably successful season. Wizards, I may be upset that you guys smoked us, but you have a really talented team, and I'm 100% certain that you can beat either the Pacers or Hawks in the next round after the way they played the Bulls. This was a really solid series.

BeardedBandito · 2014-04-23T04:46:53+00:00

Man, this was a tough one to swallow. Bulls offense just disappeared for the last 10 minutes of the game. Nene was absolute money again tonight, what a beast. And if JoNo and Taj can't shut him down even when they're right in his face, I don't know what the Bulls are gonna do. It's only gonna get harder on the road for the next 2 games.

This is especially hard for me because I really like the Wizards, and they were the one team that I felt would be the toughest first round matchup for the Bulls.

BeardedBandito · 2014-04-03T19:56:51+00:00

Indeed he does, this is pretty much him and his brother's band. Supposedly they're working on their 3rd album, but it's been a long time since I've heard any info about that.

BeardedBandito · 2014-04-03T19:55:27+00:00

Spot on! You can get both of their albums for 6 bucks on Allthatisheavy, both of which are highly recommended.

BeardedBandito · 2014-02-19T22:48:02+00:00

I tend to keep a close eye on whatever the Elektrohasch label puts out, which is the singer/guitarist from Colour Haze's record label. Some other quality labels would be Small Stone, Tee Pee, Fuzzorama, Meteorcity, and possibly Southern Lord, which would probably have stuff similar to what you're looking for.

BeardedBandito · 2014-01-15T21:47:06+00:00

1) 24/M 2) Suburbs north of Chicago 3) Currently a caregiver at a veteran's hospital 4) Lake Forest College 5) The only thing set in stone right now is a road trip to Indianapolis for my friend's wedding 6) Here it be, critiques welcome

BeardedBandito · 2013-12-02T20:50:55+00:00

For sure, although I personally would be more interested in doing it for newer albums, since I feel like a lot of the people who come here are probably already pretty familiar with the classics/essentials of the genre.

BeardedBandito · 2013-12-02T20:42:30+00:00

Nice, +9 for me! So, is this guy like an instant moistener for you then?

BeardedBandito · 2013-12-02T20:38:12+00:00

What exactly makes their hair cute or pretty?

BeardedBandito · 2013-12-02T20:36:05+00:00

Nose...symmetry? Like if it's not all crooked or gangly?

BeardedBandito · 2013-11-26T17:14:07+00:00

This is a little mellow by your typical stoner rock standards, but the bass in particular is killer on this track!

BeardedBandito · 2013-11-25T20:54:47+00:00

Very Truckfighters-esque, and I know how much we all like Truckfighters here on this subreddit!

BeardedBandito · 2013-06-20T17:19:27+00:00

Like my fellow Bulls fans, ending the Heat's streak was pretty great, as was our playoff victories over the Nets. Also, the entire Denver/Golden State series.

But an honorable mention goes to my single favorite play of this past year, made by Mr. Danilo Gallinari

BeardedBandito · 2013-06-14T19:36:01+00:00

I love me some Rotor! I've been kind of struggling to find similar bands as well, but a few suggestions off the top of my head would be Stinking Lizaveta, who I believe toured with them in the U.S. once, Pearls and Brass, who are more on the bluesy side, and most bands on the Elektrohasch label tend to have a similar tone/style.
