Don’t Miss The Empty Spaces Tonight and On Tour

28 Jun

Kansas City band, The Empty Spaces, are currently touring the Midwest in support of their EP Low Noise. Reviewsic readers may be familiar with The Empty Spaces as the studio band from singer/songwriter Mat Shoare’s similarly named album, which we wrote about back in May. Having been playing together since early 2010, the three piece began collaborating more during the writing process came up with a retro-esque spin on the punk rock style. Low Noise is an upbeat testament to rock n’ roll, chock full of bouncy rockabilly bass lines and yelping vocals with just the right amount of fuzziness to push it into the territory of modern sound. The record is now available on Golden Sound Records and curious fans can learn more about obtaining a copy on the band’s website.

Chicagoans: Catch the band tonight at the Elbo Room with The Eye Inside, Dinosaur Party, The Lips and The Kuhls. Show starts at 8pm, is 21+ and will cost you $7.

Remaining Midwest Dates:

June 28 - Chicago, IL at The Elbo Room

June 29 - St. Louis, MO at Cicero’s

June 30 - Springfield, MO at Lindberg’s

July 2 - Kansas City, MO at Record Bar
