Thanks to reader ‘b” for pointing out the change to next Friday’s TNK show. From the Schubas website: - Cloud Cult has canceled due to personal reasons and
rescheduled for Friday, April 25. Tickets on sale soon.

Taking over headlining duties are reborn retro rockers The Redwalls, and NDFY is ok with that. The northern suburban foursome have been “the Chicago band that coulda shoulda woulda” since signing to Capitol Records in 2003, but all of that precocious promise never quite came to fruition on the major label. Dropped last year amidst a major house cleaning at Capitol, the band could have taken mainstream failure to heart and imploded like so many of its predecessors. Luckily, the same pluck that first caught Chicago’s collective ear kept the Redwalls dedicated to releasing their self-titled sophomore effort, a collection of 12 insatiably catchy, appropriately fuzzy pop rock nuggets that finally captured the raw talent and ‘aw shucks’ charm that Capitol sufficiently squelched with overproduction and listless gloss on debut De Nova. I fully admit to being former Redwalls hater, but this is a great record from a band that never let the court of public opinion change their own perception of what they could do.
