Figurines Playing Chicago Innerview Magazine's Intonation After-Party

Well, Intonation Festival week has finally arrived, and if that's not enough to get you hyped, our friends at Chicago Innerview Magazine have put together a hell of an afterparty at Beat Kitchen Saturday night.  Everyone's favorite Danes The Figurines will be headlining the show, giving Chicago it's first chance to hear what all the buzz is about.  In case you've been living in a cave, this will get you up to speed:

“Cutting-edge rock buffs who've already moved past Arctic Monkeys, The Subways, and every other next big UK rock thing should keep on moving across the channel to Denmark, to start the cult of Figurines. The Danish band's fantastic second album, Skeleton, is the stuff indie-rock fantasies are built on, with a gripping, theatrical sound that's like a hybrid of early Built To Spill and pre-Soft Bulletin Flaming Lips, adorned with pieces of the old Neil Young albums that inspired those bands in the first place.”—The Onion A/V Club

 “8.3 out of 10” “The almost unthinkably hooky "The Wonder"….one of the sharpest indie rock songs of the young year so far.”-- Pitchfork Media

 “Critic’s Choice”—The New York Times

 “At high tangled-jangle speed …..these Danes sound a bit like Franz Ferdinand but much closer to a first-album Strokes.”—Rolling Stone

“Scandinavia, bless its heart, has stepped up to the plate and kindly exported their finest indie-rock band, Figurines.”—Spin Magazine

But wait, music fans.....that ain't all.  Also on the bill are the inimitable Skybox   (see my earlier posts about them here and here ) and Chicago's own  The Modern Temper .  That, my friends, is  a serious night of music.  Some come on out and enjoy it.  The Modern Temper will get things started at 10:30pm, so you'll have plenty of time to make the trek from Union Park.  You can pick up tickets HERE.
