The new video from Oh My God is amazing. "Bring Yourself" was conceived and created by Dan Bigelow and the track comes from their latest album, The Night Undoes the Work of the Day (Split Red Records).

With less than a year together, Dozens will be releasing their debut EP on May 1st at Schubas. The trio of Kyle Mann, Vincent Naples, John Norman weave textures and sounds with the best, and on their EP they combine elements of Morphine, mellower Alice in Chain, and even a touch of Fleet Foxes. These three harmonize in song and instrument to create a tight collection of sonic explorations.

You can download Dozens EP for free here and check them out live on May 1st at Schubas with Rego and Elsinore.

I posted my review of the new EP from Panda Riot a couple of weeks ago, and it seems they have made a video for my favorite track from the album, “Motion Glass”. The new EP, Far & Near will be released on May 11th.

The latest installment from the coolest new site in town, Small Chicago, is live and features three tracks from the rock n’ roll band Sissy Mena.

Sissy Mena will be performing at Subterranean on April 8th with Wild Peaks and The (Glorious) Teaparty.

Though electro-galactic trio, Antennas Up, may call Kansas City their official home, we’re holding on to their Chicago ties–and claim them as our own.

Fresh off this month’s SXSW festival, the trio is passing through Chicago tonight (and perhaps still nursing residual SX hangovers) for a show at Logan Square’s high-end watering hole, The Whistler. Equal parts funk (as heard in "Don’t Wait Up"), pop, and serendipitous space-rock (look no further than "5P4C35H1P"), Antennas boasts an eclectic sound and impressive live light-show (often with space helmets to boot); it will be interesting what they’ll manage to swing in the cozy confines of the Whistler.

There is a forcefulness in the vocals of Caitlin Garibaldi. For the band This is Versailles she trades off shouting lyrics with guitar player Jaisen Ehas. Together they are propelling the band into the realm of high-power dance punk. Yet their dance is more of slam dance than anything else. Picture The Killers mashed with Minor Threat or maybe Fugazi, and you may come close to the sound of This is Versailles.

This is Versailles will be performing on April 1st at The Bottom Lounge with Light Pollution and Woodhands.

La Blogotheque has finally posted a new take away show and it just happens to be with Wilco. The track they performed is “County Disappeared”, and the production quality is outstanding.

There is really nothing to hate about the approach and delivery of Mike Golden & Friends. As you read through the posts on their blog and listen through their debut ep Trees Pt 1. This group of musicians is dedicated to having fun, and making songs that you can stomp you foot to.

Trees EP Pt 1 will be released this week and will be available through the bands website and on Amazon.

The latest EP, Crunk In Public, from the electro-hop duo Boomjuice is going to be a mainstay in my car stereo this Spring. This is the second release from Vapor Eyes and Capriquarius, and it finds them delving deep in the electronic and dance elements of their sound. Both of the duo’s releases can be downloaded for free. This new EP features collaborations with Keith Masters, Me Myself & Rhyme, and Ellen Loves Everything. It also features an interesting Radiohead cover, and as free download is absolutely worth getting.

Boomjuice will be performing on April 6th at Darkroom with Cars For Miles and Tribella, and at Double Door on April 28th.

This is not the video to watch right before bed, but Teith (pronounced Keith) create sounds like no body else.

Dave Davison of Maps & Atlases and Casting Spells recently recording a session at Daytrotter and it was released today. Dave performed three song from his debut ep as Casting Spells, Bright Works and Baton. You can download the session here.
