This is a live taping of our song 17 Friends, originally aired on “Meanwhile in Chicago” on TGIS TV. The broad strokes of this tune are that community is as important an institution as the nuclear family, but there’s a lot more to it if you listen closely.
This taping originally aired on “Meanwhile in Chicago” on TGIS TV. This is one of our heavier (at times) songs. The arrangement is inspired by Big Star with a nod to Big Label 90s rock. Take a trip into the mind’s eye of Le Club Truantes!
Throwing back to a stripped down duo performance Maria and I did at a fundraiser for my play “Fairfield is Beautiful.” Mounting that production with Zach Hebert directing stands out as an exciting pre-quarantine live performance memory. The most recent time the full Truancy Club band performed also happened to be at Cafe Mustache. Love that venue and can’t wait to be on their stage again soon. Stay up on what Mustache is up to food, drink, and streaming entertainment-wise at http://cafemustache.com.
Honored to be included in such a broad and dense swath of Chicago music on Aftermath: Chicago Unites for Puerto Rico. Get it at the link below and know that your $$ will be going where it is still very much needed. Congratulations and thanks to Mike Sugarman at Groove Cafe for putting this together!
Recently got to chat with Ari Mejia for CHIRP Radio about songwriting and banding:
Looking forward to playing a full band jawn on this nite of nites!
