News and Notes: Annuals + Animals=?, Brown Rice is good for you, Indie Rock from Northern Italy
///Saturday night, The Annuals will be headlining a show at The Empty Bottle in support of their new ep, Wet Zoo. Not only does the band want you to check out their Wet Zoo, they also want their fans across the country to check out their own wet zoos. Click here for your chance to win a pair of tickets to this Saturday's Empty Bottle show and a pair of tickets to The Shedd Aquarium.
///Have you check out the Brown Rice space on N. Kedzie yet? If you're in a musical rut (i'm looking at you indie rock guy who only listens to indie rock) and are in need of some diverse sonic exposure, this Saturday they've got improvisational jazz from The Jeff Chan Trio and Monday they've got Chicago Phonography, a collective of artists specializing in soundscapes and field recordings.
///And dipping into the RFC Newswire today, found a press promoting some obscure band from Northern Italy of all places..."mellow, laidback, melancholy, but at the same time somewhat ironic, music, mixing twee pop, weird electronic backgound noises with some kind of warm jazzy feel. The first Italian band to ever be picked to perform at Sweden's Emmaboda festival, France, with over 50 Italian shows, Le Man Avec Les Lunettes are ready to play everywhere"
