Oh My God Tonight @ Cowboy Monkey

posted by Justin at 11:44 am.

Oh My God from Chicago is on tour now supporting their new release, “The Night Undoes The Work of the Day, which is out now. You can buy it at their website. The group uses the sounds, as their bio says, “of distorted organ, an overdriven bass guitar, driving drums and harmony-rich vocals - drawing comparisons to everyone from Quasi to Queen.” They have been garnering more and more press. The Chicago Tribune called their shows “glam-rock anthems with a twist, [with] Ig’s organ propelling the way. Their concerts are sweat-inducing events, with drummer Bish hammering away as theatrical frontman and bassist Billy O’Neill works the crowd.”

The group is playing tonight at Cowboy Monkey. The show starts at 9pm. The price is $5. Cowboy Monkey’s site says they should go on at midnight, but I wouldn’t trust it. Get there a bit early & get out and support some music.
