Hey,
blogspot readers, it’s a busy week of fun adventures On The Town
for SouthSide! She’s rockin’ around the local scene near and far
covering shows and events at Millennium Park to Cobra Lounge and
more. Her first stop happened recently at Schuba’s Tavern where she
got the chance to check out the Brooklyn, NY band, Motive and Fall
Classic.
SouthSide highly recommends rockin’ to the eclectic
alternative rock sound by this local band at their next show which
had a simplistic style amidst heartfelt voice on lyrics. Lyrically,
she found them to have a similar songwriting style to Peter Gabriel
in brought out the powerful emotions in the words thus complementing
Fall’s one of a kind rock music. Though hearing some Lenny Kravitz
music influence, don’t spend time classifying the band’s core
sound since it combines more than one genre flipping it into
something new for the ears. This reviewer suggests listening to Fear
– you may get the feeling the notes/rhythms are somewhat out of
place yet in reality, they’re not. For more information about Fall
Classic, visit http://www.fallclassic.bandcamp.com.
Incorporating
the taste of their hometown, Seattle, WA with the rock sound of
Brooklyn, NY, Motive performed a highly energized headlining set of
“...good classic [indie] electric rock show...” Though Chicago is
still a new territory for this band, they have performed at other
venues such as Wise Fools Pub and Pancho’s Bar (now known as
Township) so this was a “...little miniature run before going home
to Seattle...” for their west coast tour this summer. Sadly, this
would be the band’s only Chicago appearance but you might see them
rockin’ a local fest or two on their way back to New York. After
opening with the rhythmic floetry of Summer Solstice, Motive didn’t
waste any time popping the stage to life within a lively tempo that
was little reminiscent of 70s ballad rock-n-roll, blogspot readers.
This reviewer enjoyed the band’s energy that was not only projected
in the music but also in the lyrics from other songs like Somber Days
and Dance For Your Maker (lots of vibrant energy in this particular
song that had SouthSide dancing). Yet amidst the fun and momentum,
there was a moment of a slight political overtone heard in Mammals or
a poetic imagery in the words in What’s So Bad?. While conducting
a recent interview with Nick (front man and guitarist), SouthSide
asked him which Motive song did he recommend listening to which he
replied It’s Illicit and suggested checking out the Youtube video
for it. He did hint that the remix version of It's Illicit (a bonus track on the EP) will also have its own
video too. For more information about Motive, visit http://www.motiveband.com.
Until next time, support your local scene,
SouthSide
