disappears



everyone needs to own the new disappears lp on kranky "lux"......chicago's answer to deerhunter....but more garage, more drone, more lo-fi and less arty pretension........

and they killed it on their record store day release party at the empty bottle.....had everyone in a drunken trance...........

check it out below.......

peter brotzmann & hamid drake



tonight is all jazz in chicago. first a stop off to see some organ jazz at the venerable green mill. then off to the hideout to see peter brotzmann play a set backed by hamid drake....

wish you all could be here.......listen below......
