The Canes are, I think, an extremely promising alt rock band that currently calls Chicago home. I was fortunate enough to catch their very first live set as a band, which was at the Double Door a few weeks back. Their performance was “show stealing” at the very worst, oh and did I mention it was their FIRST SHOW….EVER?! Below are two videos from their show at the Double Door. “Iron Lung” is a definite favorite of mine. Make sure you watch these videos all the way through. Their music just gets better and better as each song progresses. Also, head over to iTunes and pick up their single - TellAllYourFriendsMusic.com

Bio
A band from Chicago that is shaping up to be an anomaly to remind us why we all fell in love with music in the first place [Anomaly: Something that deviates away from what is standard, normal, or expected]. All four members of the four-man band have brought a wide variety of influences to the stage and have together developed a sound that intermingles, what seemed to be, juxtaposing musical ideas. With compelling live experiences that are littered with references of U2, The Killers, Mutemath, and Coldplay, it's understandable why The Canes have appealed to such a large demographic and why, in the first year of the band's existence, their fan base has grown exponentially. The growth is expected to continue with the release of their first EP, "Cupid and The Atomic Bomb (exhibit b)", in late August 2012. Earlier in the year, The Canes signed a development contract with Medallion Music Group that would allow them to spend some of May and June recording with Baltimore-based producer, Paul Leavitt. Their debut EP has been far more anticipated than most freshman releases and the projected trajectory for its success is unprecedented [Projected Trajectory: Epoch making]. In May 2012, The Canes put responsibility into the hands of their small, but ever-growing, fan base and launched a Kickstarter Campaign to fund a fall tour. Needless to say, supporters met the challenge with vigor and the ambitious eleven thousand dollar goal was reached. In response, the band launched national tour dates for both August and October of 2012 to promote the release of their EP. This fall, the band will begin writing for, what they hope to be, a full-length album with an unconfirmed release date in the Spring of 2013. Meanwhile, the occult momentum The Canes have generated thus far will presumably rise as empathetic lyrics and fuzzy, shimmering melodies win the hearts of everyone with an ear to listen. www.thecanesmusic.com
