Happy Halloween, Chicago. Truth be told, All Hallows’ Eve is my favorite holiday. There’s just something about the fall, horror movies, and gratuitous amounts of candy that really gets me going. If you’re looking for something to do after the mad rush of local kids looking for treats, head out to the Beat Kitchen for a show with Chicago’s own, Into It. Over It.
Led by Evan Weiss, tonight’s show marks the end of the indie-rock group’s first ever full band tour. Earlier this month, in anticipation of the tour, Into It. Over It. released a music video for the track “Embracing Facts” from their latest release, Proper.
Released on No Sleep Records in September of last year, Proper, like most of Weiss’ releases, is available on vinyl in white (500), clear (750), and gray (1000) pressings. Pick up a copy through No Sleep’s online store for just $12.
More huge release news from Into It. Over It. comes in the form of their long-awaited four LP box set, 52 Weeks. Written and recorded in 2007 as part of an effort to release a new song every week for a year, the set is now available for pre-order for $50.
Available on white (300) or black 180g (500) vinyl, the set is scheduled to ship in early December, and is packaged with a 24 page hardbound book. Evan has also made a very limited number of 52 Weeks available on this tour, so you can try your luck at scoring one in person tonight.
The 17+ over kicks off tonight at 7:30 PM at the Beat Kitchen (2100 W Belmont). Setting the stage for Into It. Over It. will be Hostage Calm and Options. You can grab tickets online through Ticketweb for $10 or at the door before the show for $13.
