We're busy as always this week, bringing in a number of bands that will be playing this week's Pitchfork Festival in Chicago. The sessions that we'll be recording here in Rock Island include visits by Candle, Bear Country, The New Year, The Icy Demons, Jennifer O'Connor, Secret Machines, The Dutchess & the Duke, the Prairie Spies, Ani DiFranco, and Supergrass.
We're also sponsoring two lovely Daytrotter Presents shows - one at the Capitol Theatre and the other at our old haunt, Huckleberry's Pizza Parlor in Rock Island.
We'll get things going with The Dutchess & the Duke, a beautiful Beatles-sounding pop group from Seattle that is signed to Sub Pop's imprint Hardly Art. They'll be joined by the tremendous indie rock of the Prairie Spies in what should be a fantastic show Friday, July 18, at Huckleberry's. The festivities will begin at 7 p.m.
The very next night, the legendary Ani DiFranco will be in town for a show at the Capitol. We're proud to be associated with this show, and look forward to hearing her official session a couple weeks down the line. - Daytrotter
