The Tradition of Great Chicago Live Music Continues With Gooey
January 2nd, 2010Chicago Illinois has long been a music epicenter. In the early 1900′s, plantation workers migrated from the south bringing with them jazz and the blues, which lead to the birth of the Chicago blues and Chicago style Jazz. Chicago became very famous for the Blues however the Chicago music scene is not just limited to the Blues. Chicago is full of every kind of music from Symphony to punk rock and everything in between. Any and every kind of music style, Chicago has it all.
During the 1960′s and 1970′s folk music became a focal point from a number of prominent folk singer-songwriters like John Prine and Steve Goodman. The Chicago music scene is also famous for the Chicago house, a style of house music, which led to the birth of the techno style of music. In the 1980′s and 1990′s rock music, especially heavy, punk rock and alternative music were strong in Chicago when bands like The Smashing Pumpkins got their big start. And more recently more hip hop artists like Kanye West are emerging from the Chicago music scene. Despite the different varieties of music, these artists all have one thing in common – they all got their start in Chicago.
The tradition of a great local music continues with Gooey, an energetic band who has hit the Chicago music scene with a number of power pop albums. Gooey is led by songwriter and vocalist Juan Avila and supported by Chris Eudy and Brian Vaughan on the electric guitar, Tom Hickey on the bass and John Noyes on the drums.
Gooey is known in the local Chicago music scene for their jangly power pop albums with catchy, relatable and heartfelt lyrics, toting Matthew Sweet and Beatles influences. From the release of their album Gooey in 2004 to their latest Larger than Large (coming out later in 2010), they have hit the right chord with Chicago music lovers and critics alike. Gooey is Chicago’s Hottest Band with the sticky sweet name and music that is not to miss in the Chicago live music scene. Gooey will have you dancing, singing and feeling great with their fun and funky sounds that grab you and keep you coming back for more.
Versus On The Ones And Threes (Merge)
January 1st, 2010On their first LP in ten years, New York City’s Versus returns with ten tracks imbued with raucous guitar riffs, soft, heart-clenching melodies, and the band’s signature vocal harmonies, courtesy of frontman, Ed Baluyut (guitars) and Fontaine Toups (bass). While a conceptually simple formula, few bands have achieved such a delicate and aesthetically pleasing version. On this refreshing release, the band cuts through years of hipster-churned sludge back to the core of the New York music scene, proving that the art of making music was lost, but not dead.
“Cicada” begins with a stop-start rhythm accented with a ’70s inspired guitar lick and soon cascades into an ethereal soundscape where Balyut and Toups sing, “Seven long years / I’ve been left for dead / I don’t want to dream / Because you still appear.” Given that NYC has a long history with the cicada, one wonders if the song is a metaphor for the band’s decade-long low profile and subsequent resurgence. Other tracks that linger include the Toups-led “Into Blue” and “Gone to Earth,” which employs violin and xylophone to pull that much harder on the heartstrings.
The real standout is “The Ones and Threes,” appropriately held until the end for an explosive send-off. It tells the tale of a frustrated couple and is a prime example of the Versus canon, illustrated by the thrill ride that is one of the band’s catchiest chorus melodies to date.
On the Ones and Threes is a worthy addition to the Versus oeuvre. Whether you’re a longtime fan or have recently fallen under their spell, all hail the cicadas—not the zombies!—of indie rock.
Using Twitter to Promote Your Music
January 1st, 2010With all the buzz and popularity surrounding different social networking mediums, it’s nearly impossible to ignore the impact these websites make in today’s music scene. Your information, updates, releases, photos, and thoughts can be broadcast across the internet for millions to see, effectively conveying news to old and new fans alike. Even better, all of this promotion is essentially free with the cost of an internet connection, which nearly everyone has access to these days.
Enter Twitter, the 140 character posting machine capable of attracting thousands of followers and connecting you to people across the globe. Easy to use, and quickly becoming just as popular as Facebook or MySpace, this is one tool every artist should add to their repertoire for generating publicity and interest. Strangely addictive and remarkably useful, Twitter is a great method of sharing thoughts, reviews, links, and news.
A crucial aspect of utilizing Twitter to your advantage is the slimmed down length of the posting. Instead of full length blog posts, press releases, or reviews, the info is shortened, forcing you to only share the most important info with fans and followers. This helps to create succinct, flowing updates which aren’t too wordy or cumbersome to read, giving people the updates they’re searching for as quickly as possible. Becoming a skilled Twitter user can generate more followers of your profile, who will see each and every one of your musical tweets.
The advent of smart phones, especially Blackberrys and iPhones makes Twitter even more effective, as people are beginning to use their advanced mobile devices to follow social networking on the go. A myriad of applications are available for most phones, allowing you to update, view, and tweet to your heart’s content no matter where you are.
Remember, social networking sites are your friend, as long as they’re used properly. Be smart about what you write online, especially while posting personal information, but don’t be afraid to share your thoughts or pertinent info regarding musical endeavors. Over time, your Twitter followers will grow, as will the audience your posts reach, making it an effective tool which nearly anyone can take advantage of. Use keywords, witty comments, and post regularly to keep fans coming back for more.
