With his new album, Livin’ Foul, less than a month away from release, Wax gives us a brand new single – and trust me, this song bangs. A chorus destined to get stuck in your head attached to a concussion inducing, percussion-heavy production. Make sure you don’t miss the new album when it drops October 23rd.
Chicago is like no other city when it comes to music festivals. Sure Indio, CA has Coachella, but the Windy City has so much more. For it’s big ticket festival, of course you have Lollapalooza, and indie lovers and hipsters have Pitchfork, and North Coast for the bassheads and Riot Fest for the rockers, but then you have especially unique festivals like Freaky Deaky (which takes place on Halloween) and Mamby on the Beach, which takes place on an effin beach! If a festival on the water sounds awesome, it’s because it is. And if you didn’t join us last summer for Mamby, you can pretend like you did and get ready for next year because the official after movie for Mamby on the Beach is out now!

Last night, English new wave singer-songwriter Eliot Sumner performed at Chicago’s Lincoln Hall with Minnesota indie rock band, On An On. Performing a number of records from her 2014 Information EP, the Burberry Model turned indie rock singer gave an intimate performance for the Windy City crowd. Perhaps most known for her family tree, as she is the daughter of legendary rocker Sting (of The Police) and actress Trudie Styler, Sumner is currently making a name for herself aside from the shadows from her kin.
Opening her performance, Sumner greeted the crowd with a performance of her track ‘Dead Arms & Dead Legs’, the first taste of new music that her fans received in 2015. Throughout her 9-song setlist, Sumner was stern-faced and focused, but letting a sly smile sneak out at moments for her second to last stop on her current tour. Dressed in an oversized shirt and all black leggings (with all black shorts on top), Sumner keeps her emotion in check during her live performances, while still making sure everyone in the audience has a drink in hand and is enjoying their night.
After closing her set with a performance of ‘After Dark’, her second record from the new year, Sumner thanked On An On for having her, as well as the Chicago crowd. “You’ve been fucking awesome,” Sumner told the crowd before helping tear down her set, and even getting things ready for On An On. For a model/daughter to one of the biggest musicians in the world, Eliot Sumner is remarkably low maintenance and down-to-earth, but her voice and talented work on the bass guitar is what stole the show last night.
