Hippo Campus @ The Salt Shed
@amelia.mosemanPhotos courtesy of Anson Tong via Jam Productions The first time I saw Hippo Campus perform they were merely boys, bouncing around on stage with awkwardly long limbs and haircuts that could only be described as “twee”. My friends and I, at the ripe age of 13, had convinced my dad to drive us 45…

@colekincart Last Thursday, Mk.gee took the stage at The Vic Theatre in Chicago as part of his 2024 world tour supporting his latest release, Two Star & the Dream Police.

Day 3: Take me out to dinner first, Pitchfork!
@amelia.moseman My first time was hot and emotionally exhausting with a jaded soundtrack. Maybe it’s because it was on a Sunday. Or maybe because I wasn’t ready. Even if it wasn’t all it’s chalked up to be, there were still moments to remember. No, I’m not talking about my virginity on the internet, I’m talking…

bonny light horseman @ thalia hall
@amelia.moseman@colekincart (pictures) Despite being merely six years and three albums old, Bonny Light Horseman has the sound and calm confidence of a much more developed band. Perhaps it’s not that surprising when considering the conglomerated resume of members Anaïs Mitchell, Eric D. Johnson and Josh Kauffman. Said resume includes indie cult classics Fruit Bats, The…

nourished by time @ schubas
@colekincart Nourished by Time graced Schubas this past Monday, captivating a sold-out crowd. The performance comes nearly a year after the release of his full-length album, “Erotic Problems 2.” This past spring, Marcus Brown, who recently signed to XL Recordings, released a five-song EP titled “Catching Chickens,” featuring what is arguably the most fitting intro…

young fathers @ the vic theatre
@colekincart .“That’s what I’m talking about, this sh*t means something to me, man!” If you’re well-versed in the nooks and crannies of internet culture, you might’ve missed out on the “old man crying meme” or the infamous “Michigan fan crying meme.” For context, in a nutshell, after an upset victory over Ohio State in November…

Garnering immediate…

Cole and I revisited Ryan Beatty’s performance, this time at Thalia Hall, where his more relaxed interaction, heartfelt renditions from “Calico,” and an experienced band entranced fans with both new and classic hits, concluding with a remarkable Dolly Parton cover encore.
