1. If there was ever an opportunity to cheat on old man winter, it would be tonight with Chicago’s Summer Girlfriend. The all-female quartet quintet awaken those familiar warm weather feelings with its particular brand of unforgettable jangly, body-moving surf pop. LISTEN: “Shockwaves.”
The first weekend of 2012 does not disappoint. There’s plenty of happenings to take in as you enjoy this RIDIC weather. We’re talking Secret Colours, Tiger Bones, The Gorilla Press and more!
Dig it…
By Staff \ commentsThe 12 days of Christmas are now upon us. And on the second day, our true love has bestowed upon us a four-part series in which the Chicago bands playing Noise for Toys this Friday at Beat Kitchen chase down a drunken Santa Claus. If you love Oscar-worthy awkwardness, you’ll love this series. Noise for Toys will feature Archie Powell and the Exports, The Scissors, State and Madison and The Noise FM. Tickets are $10 or $5 when you bring an unused, packaged toy to benefit the U.S. Marine Corp Reserve “Toys For Tots” program. The first video of the series can be viewed below.

Holiday House
1. If there’s one way to describe Berwyn’s Holiday House, it’s brooding. The group’s album Weight of Water dives into melancholic, acoustic grunge-rock territory while singer Andrea Donahue’s endearing falsetto is backed with chugging guitars and drumbeats that are dense as bricks. LISTEN: “Rebirth.”

When the weather outside is frightful, Chicago’s rock venues are so delightful this time of year.
All holiday song rewrites aside, this is the perfect weekend to check out our fair city’s fine local acts. We’re chattering about Sissy Mena and Soft Speaker’s record release shows at Subterranean and Beat Kitchen, respectively. Plus Heaving Mass at Empty Bottle and a whole lot more!
Increase your blood flow and let’s hop to it.
