Upcoming Show: SXSW Showcase @ Czar Bar

I thought I'd drop a quick note here to let you know of a good show coming up early next week. On Tuesday March 16th, there will be a four band showcase at Czar Bar in support of their trips to Austin for SXSW. One of the bands playing is Strand Of Oaks, who made my top albums of the 2009 list at number seven.

Also playing the showcase is Chicago band Chaperone. I checked out their Myspace page after hearing about this show and immediately knew I was going to like them. Seriously, if you like the music you read about here, go check out a few of their songs, I think you'll dig them. The band's Myspace page will be able to describe their sound better than I can:

"A melding of several different eras of music, the Chicago band’s sound is a jangly 21st-century version of yesteryear’s radio rock. Sing-along harmonies and raucous percussion laced over driving bass lines give the group its expansive sound."

Also on the bill are Omaha natives Little Brazil and Milwaukee's Juniper Tar.

This is a great chance to see four quality up and coming bands on their way to SXSW, so come out and give them some support and hear some great music.
