Details:
âIn less than a year after teaming up as a solid unit, Chicagoâs Slings & Arrows has become a band to be seen and heard in the cityâs competitive scene. Just a year old as one of the newest efforts in town, theyâve stormed out the gates, gained considerable fan base momentum, and are already playing the cityâs top local venues and college/internet radio stations while scheduled to share festival and club bills with fellow buzz darlings The Bound Stems, This Is Me Smiling, Office, Walter Meego, and The 1900s.
Portland-bred singer/ lyricist Henry Brown and veteran Chicago drummer Shawn Rios (Cracklin Moth, Alison Breitman, etc.) had a chance meeting in the spring of 2005 and the connection was made to start playing together immediately. Some months had passed as the pair shared a love for musicâs more dramatic aspects, working to create a well-rounded sound, slightly lofty and artistic while still remaining substantial and accessible to different tastes.
Joined by synth-scientist/ pianist Jake Fish and anchored by bass guitarist/ vocalist
Johnny OâBrien and dynamic lead guitarist Cyril Nigg (who moved from Boulder, CO to
join the group), the five-piece has a slightly schizophrenic sound at times, which works
well for themâ leaning in toward the grandiose charm of Pink Floydâs Dark Side of the Moon one minute and brushing up against an early Beatles meets Strokes-era type of sound the next, then throwing in the high-staccato, guitar-burning rave of â70s arena rock contrasted with the more modern risks of Radiohead. Rock with dance, pop with conviction, full of momentum. Their sights are set not on retro gimmicks, but on innovation. Something much needed these days.
While already being passed around in the blogosphere and featured in online and print publications such as The Tripwire, [Chicago Tribune], Innerview Magazine, The Midwest Beat, The Onion, and Something Glorious, the group works to invent songs with gorgeous layered vocals and harmonies, melodic and rhythmic hooks with excellent songwriting to back them up, and one of the tightest rhythm sections around right now. Slings & Arrows self-produced Animal Grammar EP was recorded earlier this year.â
