Founded in 2007 by Rebecca Lopez, Betta Promotions has spent the last two years doing an outstanding job bringing bands new and old to such Chicagoland venues as the Metro, Subterranean, Beat Kitchen, Schuba’s…and really the list just goes on and on. Rebecca and the Betta team have been at it once again, this time putting together a show that will include the up and coming, but quickly rising Chicagoans, Suns.
Catching attention both as a new project by the much loved Mikey Russell (ex-Wax on Radio) and for the sound they’ve created, Suns made their debut just over a month ago in a packed performance at the Metro alongside The Felix Culpa, Robbers, and Loyal Divide. Using two drummers and a slew of other instrumentation, Suns delivers a sound that is both ambient and floating as well as intricate and tightly knit.
Also filling the bill are Chicago born muscians Mike Maimone and The Mutts, and Athens, Georgia band fire Zuave. Most likely seen out and about playing with his nationally exposed band, Company of Thieves, Mike Maimone also fronts and words hard for his solo project, and fans are sure to be in for a treat should they make it out this Wednesday. Southerners Fire Zuave have a few feathers tucked into their cap as well, having already opened for bands such as Fiery Furnaces and Of Montreal, garnering a reputation as a group of up and comers worth watching out for.
Be sure to head out to Lincoln Hall this Wednesday, February 24th to see Suns , Mike Miamone and The Mutts and Georgian band fire Zuave. Doors at 9pm, 18+
