Quite a week lined up for us in Chicago. Tonight we have us The Twelves, in from Rio on a long overdue tour that graces Chicago for the Outdanced! party over at Sonotheque. And they’ll be playing with Yello Fever and Derek Specs. If you’re really in the know, you might have already seen the Twelves at Debonair last night doing a DJ set… But that’s neither here nor there. I was secretly hoping for a Lolla spot this year, but that’s another story. So tonight, after just talking to my boss about coming in late tomorrow morning, I am going to have a couple drinks and enjoy some good music. The Twelves will be heading west after their cold stay out here, hitting up Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas and Austin before heading back down to South America. So if you live out that way, check the tour dates! Oh, and big thanks to Palmsout for “When You Talk”! What an incredible song…

Then tomorrow it’s right back at it- Sebastien Tellier will be at Schubas Tavern tonight, all the way from France. Though I usually know what I’m getting into heading to these gigs, I have a feeling that all my expectations will be out the window once he takes over. The guy defines the word musician. And not only is Sebastien Tellier going to be there, but opening up for him will be Chicago’s own Hey Champ! the band/dj duo that consistently raises the bar on the Chicago music scene. I got a chance to see their signing party at Angels & Kings and they burned it down, on a Tuesday, with Lupe Fiasco introducing them. Great night. Check the tracks out! I’ve been waiting for a good reason to post both those 80kidz & Yello Fever remixes. That Yello Fever joint posted above is ace.
