Sat. Jul. 10 - 8PM - All ages -
PELICAN (mbrs of Tusk)
Unhindered by the impositions of the vocal yoke, Chicago instro-sorcerers Pelican transcend the limits of time and space to expound upon the stunning finesse and painstaking subtlety with which they command their already indelible sonic signature. Restoring instrumental composition to its former glory is no insignificant task, and to do so with such remarkable authority and presence is a testament to the sheer will and unmitigated talent of Pelican’s membership. Levying cinematic melody upon glacial heaviness, they achieve the sort of inevitability usually reserved for weather systems and natural disasters.
THRONES
TAKING PICTURES
Taking Pictures, a rock trio from Chicago, is an outstanding example of what musicians can do with eight years of sonic exploration under their belts as band-mates. Taking Pictures are 75% of what was the legendary Pittsburgh rock outfit Hurl. In their five year existence Hurl released a stack of vinyl and Cds on labels like My Pal God, Peas Kor, DeSoto, and Tiny Superhero (U.K.) while still involving themselves in artistic projects of all kinds, musical and otherwise.

For the record, I'm completely embarassed by that overblown description. Specifically, the coining of the term "instro-sorcerors" was completely uncalled for. Additionally, if anyone is aware of this supposed "former glory" that we've somehow restored "instrumental composition" to explications would be much appreciated.

Oh yeah, Pelican is playing a "secret" show this Monday at Subterranean with Dakota/Dakota, No Funeral, Chord, and Jakob. Please come out - Jakob have travelled from New Zealand for unknown reasons and rock like sunset on the beach with a six pack of ice cold Mogwai. 9pm, $5, Subterranean 2011 North Ave.

We want to play with every band we like that comes through town. Most non-DIY show promoters freak out if you have anything booked three weeks to a month before or after your show with them. If we have a show in close proximity to another show we're offered, sometimes we'll do it unadvertised. We wanted to play with Jakob - we had the Thrones shows already booked and fliered, so we did the Sub-T show in secret.

In addition to this "official" line of reasoning, it is important to note that we are "secret show" fetishistic. Take that for whatever you want it to mean.

in secret means extremely late on a school and work night. starting at 1.30 in the morning = too secret for me. it was great to fall asleep standing to, but not great to enjoy like many of the other, earlier pelican shows.

[samiamnot]

is the secret show all ages?

Our next secret show has an 11pm curfew. Lucky you.
