EMPTY BOTTLE FREE MONDAY WITH EGO + MORE - TONIGHT
Fans of FP know that we’re fans of Chicago label Maximum Pelt, run by Magic Ian of EGO, who played at our first FPCHI show back in June. Now, the label is hosting its own show at the Empty Bottle on Monday, releasing two 7"s, one from EGO themselves, and one a split between Foul Tip and Lil Tits. Side A features Foul Tip, a great new band featuring Ed Bornstein to fill that T'Bone shaped hole left in your heart. The two-piece bass and drum combo offers ‘Madness’, with gut-punching bass, and lyrics just as sharp as the drums, each with their own unique twists and turns-of-phrase. Side B from Lil Tits is louder, fuzzier, and noisier, tagged as witchpunk on soundcloud, though according to the presser, they prefer the term “feminimalism.” EGO’s 7" is a departure from both of these bands. 'Can’t Shut it Off’ is a wah-induced power-pop jammer with infectious guitar leads that they’ve become know for, while the slower tempo of 'Sunlight’ on Side B features a guitar line reminiscent of a psychedelic Television.
Come to the party on Monday night for a free (FREE FREE FREE) show at the Empty Bottle. The show starts at 9 PM and both releases will be available. All three bands will play, as well as Perfume. You can pre-order the EGO 7" here, and the Foul Tip/Lil Tits split here. Check out Max Pelt’s soundcloud to hear the tracks ahead of time too. Jesus, do you still need more convincing? OK, fine. All three bands have music videos. Check 'em out on Max Pelt’s blog: Lil Tits, Foul Tip, and EGO. Happy? See you Monday!
