If you’re a singer looking for an instrumental match up with an affinity for melodic instrumentals and deep driven bass, then Chicago’s Ford’s Theater just might be the group for you.
Hailing from the Windy City, Ford’s theater is a four-piece band that has worked tirelessly to achieve a sound that is smooth, complex, and fluid. Constantly striving for the unique, the band is equal parts of all its members, giving personality to their melodies. Citing such influences as Appleseed Cast, Piglet, and Radiohead, Ford’s theater is a promising creation.
Currently in the process of creating a new EP, the band offers a few tracks to preview online at [www.myspace.com/fordstheater]. In these tracks you’ll find seamless percussion and what sounds to be Spanish inspired guitar parts. Some tracks, like Swifts Swifts and Tarantism, have an ambient, floaty quality to them while others, like My Senses Have Formed come at its listener hard and fast, but never rushed. There’s a sense of precision and control in the music made by Ford’s Theater.
Citing hopes to find a singer and put lyrics along with their already appealing music, Ford’s Theater is a band worth checking up on as time passes.
Ford’s Theater will be playing at Swing State in Gurnee, IL with Give Away the Pilot, Venice Gas House Trolley, and Stephanie Nilles on March 18th.
