The swedes and I are going to check out Lykke Li this evening at The Vic here in Chicago. I haven’t seen here since she played Metro a few years back, so I’m stoked to hear the songs from her latest album, Wounded Rhymes, live. “Jerome” is one the bangers on the album and the collaboration with Wildbirds & Peacedrums’ Mariam Wallentin (who is a better singer might I add) is pretty awesome.

My band, Volcanoes Make Islands, just released our EP, Sick City, on August 30 to a healthy crowd at Schubas in Chicago!  The 4 song EP was recorded at The Coach House Studio with Mr. Dan Smart (The Field Auxiliary).  I am extremely stoked to get these songs out to the masses.  The results surpassed all of our expectations and I hope y’all dig the tunes as much as we do. You can download Sick City for FREE on the VMI Bandcamp page. Please let me know what you think!

Enough Said.

Well, I totes effed up my last blog on this domain, so I have started a new and improved one with perhaps a bit more focus.  I am really using this as a means to mess around with WordPress and to expose my search for new music. More to come soon…
