AAM & IGIF SXSW Parties (Fri.)

I’m gonna start bunching up SXSW party announcements as much as I can to save some space. But that shouldn’t imply that the bunched-up shows are any less noteworthy than non-bunched-up shows.

The Heligoats @ Schubas [3/7/10]

Just a few pics from last night’s excellent Heligoats show at Schubas. My pictures came out pretty badly overall, due to poor positioning in the crowd, and a lack of motivation to try to find a better spot. If you look at my unedited photos in my Flickr set, you’ll see the back of the head of a guitarist in a couple of my favorite Chicago bands.

If you missed the Heligoats last night, well, shame on you… but you have another chance to see them on May 13th opening for Clem Snide at Lincoln Hall.

Buzzgrinder and Buddyhead SXSW Parties (Thu/Fri)

Missed this one when it came out a few days ago. Solid lineup on both days, though given how packed my Thursday schedule is already, odds are I’ll aim for Friday.

Shows go on from 11am to 5pm each day.

Various MP3s For Listening

A few MP3s that I’ve been listening to today. I’ve been hearing about Dawes for a while now, but this is the first time I’ve listened to them – wish I’d done it a lot earlier, as this might be the best new song I hear this week. The 1986 reminds me a lot of Silkworm (which is a very good thing). And I had no idea that David Bazan had released a live album (recorded here in Chicago at Electrical Audio). Gonna have to pick that up.

Dawes, “Love Is All I Am”

1986, “Black Spring”

David Bazan “Magazine” (from Live at Electrical Audio)

This Week in Chicago (March 8-14)

Wow. This is, hands down, the best week of live music in Chicago since I moved here in October. There are multiple solid shows every night of the week (well, maybe not Sunday), and great music pretty much all day long on Saturday. If you don’t get out and see live music this week – and lots of it – then you’ve got problems.
