E>N>E Chicago Rocks Recap 05/03/09

This week’s taping of E>N>E: Chicago Rocks at Cobra Lounge was kicked off with Aaron Michael.  This prolific singer-songwriter and member of the Rail Rotors took the stage with the swagger of Johnny Cash dressed in denim and boots, bright red guitar ready to go and showed off with a three song set: Sweet Georgia, Hot Roddin’ Baby and Black Is Night.  No upcoming shows from what we can tell but promise to post any new dates when we get them.  Switching gears with La Brecha.  These rockers played a strong two-song set: Nada Perfecto and Congelador.  Cristian (vocals/guitar) El Meme (bass), Edgar (guitar) and Felix (drums) will be at Congress Theatre on May 16, 2009 and I suggest you check them out, you will not be disappointed and it doesn’t hurt that Cristian is cute. So go! Get your tickets! Go!!  Closing out the show was Benjamin Anaya + Los Extranos Unidos.  Playing a fusion of bossa, funk and preaching a message of unity and love Benjamin + Los Extranos jammed on Magic Pagole and Intermezzo, the perfect end to a warm breezy Sunday night.

That’s it for this week, next week E>N>E will be taping at Tiger O’Stylies in Berwyn from 6-8PM, come be a part of the crowd.  Check out Enchufate! for more info.

E>N>E: Chicago Rocks Recap 04/05/09

†This weeks line up: Arctic Fox, Subatomico and Canyon.

Luis Coronado was our affable host.

First up: Arctic Fox who performed an all too short 2-song set. This group has only been together six months comprising of members from The Its and reModern.  Though I was bummed to learn there won’t be any new shows coming up for some time, they are in the studio recording an album.  Do me a favor and check them out on MySpace, they’re solid and great to hear live and have a fun and energetic stage presence.  Can’t wait to see them again but until then, I’ll have to settle for the music on their page.

Next up: Subtomico. Describing themselves as “the Cure had an affair with Lucybell and Smashing Pumpkins” they did not disappoint.  They performed 3 songs going over the allotted time but you can’t be mad at them.  Their first song was a fast paced bopper followed by two slower songs. My new obsession and the highlight of their set for me was “Hoy y Aqui” a slow burner that sizzled with Charlie Tovar’s guitar solo.  A shout out to Robert Guzman on lead vocals and Luis Ceteno on bass for humoring yours truly throughout the taping.  No word on any upcoming performances but I’ll post any dates as I get them.

And last but not least we heard from my new friends in Canyon.  One song. That’s all they played. One 8+ minute jam. No vocals. One song and they killed it!! Do check them out live, do listen to their music, do support these kids because they are not a band, not musicians, they are an experience. Next show is at Kinetic Playground on April 24, 2009 at 9PM, $5.

Another great show came to a close.

E>N>E: Chicago Rocks airs Wednesdays at 8PM on Cable Channel 25 and reairs throughout the week.

You can find me there every Sunday for the live taping at Cobra Lounge from 6PM-8PM. Stop by and say hi.
