Whiskey & Bananas Playlist Vol. 27
Featuring Chicago’s The Bingers & Jimmy Whispers, Michael Kiwanuka, Beach House, Ty Segall covering T. Rex, & more
Land Lobster — The Bingers
Chicago’s own retro-inspired garage rockers The Bingers have been landing their tunes in everything lately, from James Franco films to ads for Veuve Clicquot and HUF skateboard apparel.
Bones — Michael Kiwanuka
British soul musician Michael Kiwanuka channels decades of soul, rock and R&B inspiration into his music.
All Your Yeahs — Beach House
We’re looking forward to seeing indie dream pop band Beach House back in Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival this summer.
Kachina Doll — Teenage Cool Kids
Before Parquet Courts came around, there was bandleader Andrew Savage’s Denton, Texas-originating Teenage Cool Kids, with similarly excellent Americana post-punk rock.
Time Away from Home — Summer Salt
These mellow retro-pop/indie rockers are from Austin, Texas and recently played a show in Chicago with The Walters (friends of The Orwells).
Hey Bulldog — The Beatles
This wonderfully underplayed rocking gem from the “Yellow Submarine” soundtrack is always a treat to stumble upon.
The Slider — Ty Segall
King of California punk fuzz Ty Segall recently released an album of all T. Rex covers that rock incredibly hard.
Heart Don’t Know — Jimmy Whispers
Jimmy Whispers is one of the Chicago indie scene’s most interesting musicians and exciting performers today, recently making a splash in Europe.
Deep Web — Magic Potion
It’s always fun to stumble across great European indie music like Magic Potion from Stockholm, Sweden.
El Loco Cha Cha Cha — René Touzet
Those familiar chords at the beginning were in fact the inspiration for “Louie Louie” in the 50s.
