Thursday night party!
How many things do you have to choose from tonight?
Well :
A free show at The Whistler :
Tiger Bones + Village! 10pm
From Pitch Perfect PR : "Tiger Bones, the Chicago band that began as an experiment called Gay Baby, is psyched to announce their debut EP, Go Over Here. It will be released through their new label Dedd Foxx on March 1, 2011.
Recorded by Ponys front man Jered Gummere, the 4-track EP is a curiously uneasy balance of danceable caveman drums, jangley Link Wray-inspired guitars, and moody, layered vocals, all laced with haunting reverb…You’d never expect to get a weirdo-surf-rock vibe out of four dudes from Chicago, but Tiger Bones has achieved a dreamy, disconnected sound that encourages a blissed-out state of being. Their first single, “Kill Them”, fuses shoulder-shaking beats with ominous, paranoid vocals that bring to mind Three Imaginary Boys-era The Cure, Broadcast, and Suicide.
Go Over Here will be released on vinyl through Tiger Bones’ label, Dedd Foxx, and as a free download via digi-label Candy Dinner. The vinyl EP features four original songs and the digital version includes an additional bonus track that cleverly intertwines Harry Nilsson and Joy Division.
Don’t miss Tiger Bones’ EP release show at The Whistler in Chicago on March 3rd, where you’ll find the band- Jonathan Burden, Jay Ranz, Nick Hagen (who practices with the band via email), and Mike Renaud (a noted fixture in the graphic design community and host of The Show ‘n Tell Show)- enjoying craft cocktails and trying not to make everyone uncomfortable."
