Lucy McWilliams confronts her true self with euphoric thunder on ‘Plastic’


Music

<p>Way back in the long-gone ’90s, the great English poet Richard Ashcroft once sang about how he was “a million different people from one day to the next.” It’s a line that has always resonated with certain folx, particularly those who often see the true sense of themselves slip away to appease others. We bring that up with playful flair as we Lucy McWilliams returns with a new single called “Plastic,” the follow-up to the Irish singer’s March twirl “Slow […]</p>

DS Show Review & Gallery: Woolworthy; Acoustic Pike; and Dave Suh and Dirty Wings. Chicago (11.22.2023)

Woolworthy, on the heels of releasing their first new record in 21 years, returned to the stage on November 22, 2023. Taking place at Montrose Saloon, the Chicago band performed in an intimate show before a crowd filled with family and friends. Acoustic Pike – an acoustic version of Cisco Pike – and Dave Suh and Dirty Wings played in support, with the latter band making its live debut.

Woolworthy was a popular Chicago pop-punk band founded in 1995 and active until 2005. The group just released a new album entitled Electric Heartbreak, on Boss Tuneage Records on November 17th. Woolworthy received a warm welcome back as it ripped through a set stacked with old favorites and new tunes. Rudy Gonzalez and Dave Suh traded lead vocals as they also manned their respective guitars. Rick Uncapher on bass and Mark Doyle on drums provided a steady backline.

Billing itself for this event as Acoustic Pike, the trio was made up of Tom Szidon and Pat McIntyre of Cisco Pike, and McIntyre’s daughter Cece McIntyre on violin. It was a lovely set with a folksy feel. One highlight was a cover of John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” It was a version of the classic tune decidedly more faithful to the original than that of Me First and The Gimme Gimme’s popular (and fun) take on the song.

Dave Suh of Woolworthy kicked off the evening by making the first of his two performances this night fronting Dave Suh and Dirty Wings in its debut. Just as Suh had double duty, the evening as a whole did so as well. The tables, some decorated with balloons, were covered with large containers of food and cupcakes. Along with being a punk show, it was also a celebration of Suh’s birthday and the birthday of Pat McIntyre’s wife, Rachel McIntyre.

Suh was in obvious good cheer and it shined through during the band’s sprightly set. It was a pleasant way to get the show started.

Please see additional photos from the show. Thanks and Cheers!

DS Show Review & Gallery: 6th Annual Slackfest night 2 – The Slackers; Eastern Standard Time; Los Vicios de Papá; and Lady Hatchet. Chicago (11.18.2023)

Slackfest, the annual event presented by The Slackers hit Reggie’s Rock Club recently. Dying Scene was on the floor at the S. State Street venue. The ska fest was a night of joyful noise featuring plenty of the subgenre’s signature horns.

The Slackers, the iconic NYC ska group, once again provided an energetic capper to the weekend’s festivities. It was a dynamic set with trombonist and singer Glen Pine out front and center with an especially animated performance. The band is playing out west for the next couple of weeks before heading back to its native east coast. Don’t slack on catching a set (yes I know that was lame. But the band is everything opposite of that).

Eastern Standard Time, from Washington DC, led by the smoothly charismatic Unikue Peace on vocals and percussion. It was a lively set and the perfect penultimate one to the headliner.

Los Vicios de Papá, out of Chicago, performs its music in Spanish. I once was more fluent in the language than I am now. No matter, it was a high-powered performance combining Latin ska, reggae, and Cumbia. Los Vicios de Papá had the crowd stomping on the venue’s concrete floor in the very best way.

Lady Hatchet, aka Kristin Forbes, kicked off the night with a fun set. Dunia Best joined her for several songs which upped the already entertaining level a notch. This is the first time I have seen them perform. It was also the first time I have seen performers literally dancing as they set up and take down their gear before and after their set. I look forward to seeing both parts of these musicians’ performances in the future.

Please see more photos from the 6th Annual Slackfest night 2 below. Thanks and Cheers!
