Chicago Grooves.

Sorry about the lack of posting on the Liar's Club... we all should be beaten. Well, minus me since I am posting here.

Last night I went out to Schuba's to check out three local bands. All three are heavy in the groove and bass sounds... but all three are very rooted in the indie rock scene. Jai-Alai Savant sounds kind of go all over the place... but bring influences of funk, reggae, and electronic dub. They easily get the crowd moving. The Eternals keeps it simple with bass, drums, horn, and vocals... reminds me of an indie-rock Sly & Robbie. Way fun. Kind of nerdy but good (white people can dance to it). And Watchers meld the sounds of the Talking Heads, Radio 4, and Gang of Four... indie rock with heavy funk/groove percussion. The percussion makes the band. Their singer grabs his crotch a little too much... but I am sure he like it.
I highly recommend checking all of them out... way fun.

No, I think you should all be beaten for leaving Dr. Ken's ass brightening post as the last post for so long.

Just my $.02

Reck, I tried to tell them to post! I mean, hell, I've gotten three anal bleaches since I posted that.

Jai-Alai Savant features my fake husband Major Taylor! Glad they were a good watch/hear.
