Band: Noah and the Whale (supported by Nikki Lane)Venue: Lincoln Hall (2424 N. Lincoln)Date(s): Friday, 11/11 AND Saturday 11/12Proof: Video for “Waiting for My Chance to Come”Tickets: $20 here We ran out of time to make this interview work, but I wanted to HIGHLY suggest this show nonetheless. One of my favorite London bands, Noah and the Whale is playing TWO nights in Chicago, tonight and tomorrow at Lincoln Hall. I’m personally very much looking forward to seeing them, so naturally, you should be too. I’ve seen them twice this year, though both times at festivals, so I am beyond excited to see them play in one of my favorite Chicago venues. Tickets are still available for both nights, but will likely sell out any minute so get on it! You could also just read our Lollapalooza Tip Off interview with them and get the basic gist. Basically all you need to know is they are super talented, absolutely adorable and I love them. PLUS, a really sensational up-and-comer, Nikki Lane is opening. Preview her new video for “Sleep For You” here. See you there? Great. | N

Laura Marling, “Untitled” Live from Lincoln Hall, Chicago 9/22/2011

B and I have liked idolized Laura Marling for years, we love everything about her: her music, her dating history, her looks. (Seriously, hours have been spent deciding whether or not I should dye my hair Laura Marling-blonde or Laura Marling-brown.)
We saw her live for the first time last night and our love took a turn for the serious. She’s our generation’s Joni Mitchell- a perfected, whimsical story teller who dances between octaves with the ease in which most people speak. She’s funny, sweet and unrefined and humbled by every audience-echo of her lyrics or drunkenly shouted song request. She was, I think, one of the most talented people I’ve ever shared a room with.
The video above is poor quality and doesn’t even really catch the entire song, but it’s a brand-new, unrecorded piece she played sans-band and it’s really awesome. I’ve listened to her records for years, but seeing her live brought her to an unparalleled new level of talent. Go see her. And get her new album. Get all her albums. And seriously brown or blonde?
