“I’m in love with rock and roll, but that will change eventually.”
It’s not everyday that a band is granted the privilege to play back-to-back nights at any venue, no matter the band’s notoriety or the club’s willingness to accommodate XYZ artist. Chicago’s own Beat Kitchen, located in the Roscoe Village neighborhood has given the hardest working Midwest duo, Local H not only two nights in their tiny club, but a week’s residency to showcase their catalog in its entirety. This rock outfit that has held an overall consistent sound with traces of classic rock, stoner-rock, hints of psychedelic sounds and even frat rock thrown in over 13 year’s time is also about to release their 6th full-length studio album, ’12 Angry Months’.
To celebrate H’s new LP, Scott Lucas and Brian St. Clair are dedicating seven days in May to play all songs from each of their studio albums from start to finish. May 7th will kick off this extravaganza with their first full-length, ‘Ham Fisted’. And the days that will follow will each showcase another one of their records. Before the unveiling of ’12 Angry Months’, Lucas has decided to enlighten us with a night of B-sides and rarities, too. Besides the chance to witness LPs from start to finish, we have been promised a different opener each night and surprise guests; this promise itself almost makes the time commitment of this showcase worth showing up for. Maybe a reunion show of sorts?
More rambling and some music after the jump.
