WONDERLICK ( Too Much Joy members) doing a rare intimate living room set 8/23 Blue Island Brewery
As one journalist who attended a Wonderlick house show explained in his review: "I can't say I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it -- I expected it to be good -- but I was shocked by how different the vibe was, even compared to seeing an act perform in a tiny but more traditional venue...The intimacy of the performance made me hear the songs -- mostly Wonderlick tunes with a couple Too Much Joy chestnuts sprinkled in -- in a completely different way. It was a great experience."
• Brand-new album, unheard arrangements. Wonderlick Goes to War is racking up “album-of-the-year” whispers in the blogosphere; Chicago gets the songs stripped to raw nerve.
• Too Much Joy deep cuts and a cover chosen on the spot.
• The whole concept: “tiny lights in massive darkness.” Jay & Tim believe a song in a small room still beats a tweet in the void. They’re willing to prove it, pint glasses rattling.
Need a hook?
Call it MTV Unplugged meets a micro-brew fermenter. Or “If NPR’s Tiny Desk grew up, got day-drunk, and moved to the South Side.”
