Description

Vinyl LP pressing. Live In Chicago arrives in a moment when touring artists and music fans around the world are coming to grips with the shut down of the live music industry and it s devastating effect on thousands of livelihoods. The show was recorded in 2011 during a sold-out 2-night stand at Metro, the legendary Chicago venue forced to launch a GoFundMe Campaign to fight for it s survival, a dire predicament faced by countless other entertainment venues in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Available for the first time as a live album that adds six additional performances not included in the original broadcast on the Palladia Network, Live In Chicago captures a rocket in the moment of liftoff, showcasing the band s exhilarating mix of pop hooks and pointed commentary delivered via the crackling onstage chemistry of lead singers Michael Fitzpatrick and Noelle Scaggs. The taut musicianship of The Tantrums, a certified wrecking crew comprised of James King (Saxophone Flute), Joseph Karnes (bass), Jeremy Ruzumna (keyboards) and John Wicks (drums) propels the crowd through a setlist that showcases the band s early catalog and their singular brand of infectious indie-soul.
