We can get along!

Chin Up Chin Up

Alright. Chin Up Chin Up is a band from here in Chicago. I found them when inadvertently clicking on a mp3 link for them instead of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. I am not disappointed. They make music that manages to be urban Illinois while retaining some prairie guitar. It sounds as if you looking at a painting or a sculpture (or something impressive of that sort) and suddenly a car whizzes by on the street. (That is a really shoddy description.)

The guitars are pretty dang impressive and the tunes are catchy. What more is there to say?

CUCU are going to be in studio soon and I will get to see them live when they hit the Pitchfork Music Festival in July. Much fun all around.
