Looking for some live music in Chicago this weekend? We’ve got you covered. Check out this weekend’s featured show along with a more extensive weekend list below!
FANG ISLAND at the Beat Kitchen, 4/13
Brooklyn’s Fang Island began as an art school project, but has evolved into a force to be reckoned with. The quintet set out to “make music for people who like music”, and with their 2010 self-titled release, they seem to have achieved that goal. The group harmonies, chanted vocals, and occasional hand claps all seem to gel with the pop roots of classic rock. Check out the track “Careful Crossers”, from the debut album, below.
You can pick up a copy of Fang Island on 180g 12” online for just $15, as well as their limited edition 7” for $8.
