Shining Headlights

A few years back I reviewed a cd by a promising Chicago-based indie-pop band called Headlights, and made a mental note to follow their career. And characteristically, I forgot all about them.

That is until recently when I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Headlights will be playing The Albert on July 1st in support of their latest release Some Racing, Some Stopping. Check out "Cherry Tulips" (above), a warm, bouncy number that is the first single off the record.

The video ain't bad too.

Correction: Icelandic electronic wizard Johann Johannsson will be playing The West End on Saturday not the Gas Station Theatre. Opening for him at the West End is folk-artist Kyrie Kristmanson, who I'm told is worth the $10 admission price alone.

Current rotation: Albert Hammond, Jr. - Yours To Keep
