Chicago singer/songwriter, Willis Earl Beal will play the Echo on Wednesday, May 2.  His amazing debut album, Acousmatic Sorcery,  just dropped earlier in March and he’s already causing quite a stir in the music world. His booming, soulful voice helped get him signed to Hot Charity–an imprint of powerhouse indie XL (Adele, Vampire Weekend, M.I.A.). Emily Kokal (Warpaint) will be opening […]

Explosions In The Sky has to be one of the most magnificent live performances. What they do live with no vocals, is absolutely astounding considering many bands don’t even come close to the energy they evoke with their music: all without words. Supporting Explosions In The Sky were We Were Promised Jetpacks. These Scottish boys also put on one hell-of-a-show. Their orchestrations […]

Now this was a super fabulous show! Cardiff’s Los Campesinos! hit the Echoplex this past Saturday, Feb. 11. in support of their fourth album Hello Sadness. The seven-piece UK bunch lit the Echoplex on fire with their eclectic mingling of indie tunes-noise, melody and everything in between that you could shake and sway your grove thing to. The ensemble was absolutely engaging and really got […]

When most bands play their first show, they are (rightfully so) nervous. They don’t know if anyone will enjoy them, they have no fans there specifically for them, and money is scarce—so their equipment (and therefore their sound) isn’t always great. Of course, these normal problems didn’t seem relevant for the first public performance by […]
