Victorian Halls To Celebrate Release Of New CD 1/24
Chicago's Hardest Working Band To Throw CD Release Party At Beat Kitchen
DECEMBER 15, 2008 – Chicago's VICTORIAN HALLS are writing their own playbook.
Rather than rest on their laurels for a single moment - which would be easy to do given the glowing national praise their debut album Springteen received in 2008 - the quartet are starting 2009 with a wake up call in the form of a brand new self-released and self-titled EP that further pushes the envelope of the band's trademarked straightjacket pop sound.The thing about VICTORIAN HALLS is this - they don't so much write pop songs as chase them down an alley and hatchet them to death. Then, like some metaphorical Dr. Frankenstein, they sew the songs' limbs back together and in the process create a whole new monster: music that is crudely punk, brilliantly artful and instantly likeable. It's as quixotic as it is unquestionably pleasing, equal measures pop and pulp fiction.
And the band is set to set the monster loose on the world. First stop - their hometown.
VICTORIAN HALLS will be celebrating with a CD Release Show at the Windy City's uber-hip Beat Kitchen. Attendees will not only be treated to a set by the frenetic VICTORIAN HALLS, but also by support acts TONIGHT THE PROM, SNOWSERA and THE NEW DIET. In addition, all in attendance will get a FREE copy of VICTORIAN HALLS' new CD.
Your help in covering this event would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you are interested in previewing the show, or are interested in featuring the band or reviewing the release, which can be downloaded here:
