“Who Needs You,” I Have The Orwells: A Preview of The Orwells at The Crocodile

I’ve noticed that there are a ton of great Chicago bands on the music scene right now. I mean, come on: there’s Whitney, The Walters, Twin Peaks, and the reasoning of this article, The Orwells. (Of course, the list could go on and on. Please forgive me; I just really dig these artists.)

Two years after the release of their sophomore album, Disgraceland, The Orwells are set to release a third album, Terrible Human Beings, on February 17^th, 2017. Before the release of Terrible Human Beings, The Orwells are hitting the road and stopping at The Crocodile on Tuesday, November 15^th, 2016.

I have a feeling that, judging by their similarity to Twin Peaks, there will be a great deal of moshing. The Orwells are also known for their frenetic live performances and overall mantra of not caring about what others think of them. I dig it.

California indie rock band Dante Elephante is set to open for The Orwells. With a second album produced by Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, Dante Elephante portrays a brighter sound than The Orwells. Check out their tracks “Pop Song” and “Pasadena Dreams” to see what I mean.

Don’t miss The Orwells with Dante Elephante at The Crocodile on Tuesday, November 15^th. This is an all ages event with doors opening at 8:00 p.m. Tickets can be found here.
