Chins Up

You might have heard of the Chicago band Chin Up Chin Up because of the tragedy that struck the band on Valentine's Day of 2004. After leaving The Empty Bottle, their bassist Chris Saathoff and his girlfriend were struck by an SUV that careened through the intersection, striking and killing Saathoff as he pushed his girlfriend to safety. You can read more about the tragic events and the eventual conviction of the driver here

Chin Up Chin Up's third record will be released in October on their new label Suicide Squeeze. Think Lync/Six Parts Seven'ish musically and Stephen Pastel/David Gedge'ish vocally. I bet their live shows are like rocket launches.
