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.
Rounding out Tonight’s local lineup is Volcanoes Make Islands, and intermittent spinning, courtesy of DJ Screeble Dee. Free show! 21+. – Neph Basedow
