WATCH: Dastardly feuds with The Shams Band

Keep Chicago Clean, Not Dastardly
There's nothing wrong with a friendly rivalry, especially when it compels one to attend what would have been a regular, old-fashioned rock show. Anyway, the tiff between Gabe Liebowitz of Dastardly and Donnie Biggins of The Shams Band erupted in mid-April over comments made about Shams Bands' efforts to clean up Logan Square. Shams Band made the video below, which Liebowitz followed up with this disturbing response . Who will have the last laugh at tonight's gig? Judging by this photo of Subterranean's marquee , I'd [...]

Album Review: The Shams Band – Champagne

Sep 22, 2010, 7:59am Consequence Of Sound
Let's get this straight. The new Sufjan Stevens EP features eight songs and comes in at a whopping 59 minutes. The new record, Champagne , by The Shams Band , features nine songs, clocks in at under 29 minutes, yet is classified as an album. How do people determine what makes an EP or an album these days? It sure makes year-end lists complicated, and that's all we really care about at the end of the day (I kid, I kid). There's another issue with the new album by The Shams Band. There are [...]

Sep 17, 2010, 3:15pm Consequence Of Sound
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday, which around here means new music. There are singles, remixes, and covers from your favorite bands, as well as mp3s from some up and comers you just might want to check out. Plus, thanks to Kanye's G.O.O.D.

CoS Giveaway: The Square Affair

Aug 24, 2010, 1:45pm Consequence Of Sound
Ah, the end of summer. What bitter days. When folks pack away the beach towels, when beers are saved for Monday Night Football, and storefronts advertise Back to School sales instead of Summer Specials. Let's not even start on how stale the movies get for the next month or so. (Then again, were they ever good at all this summer?) Then there's the weather. The beautiful autumn season teases us with soul-inspiring sights: the leaves change face, the days grow shorter, and the evening sky bleeds purple and orange, all while the air is just right. This last for only [...]

Listen: The Shams Band

Aug 7, 2009, 1:45pm Consequence Of Sound
Listen: The Shams Band Some bands take you places. Some may give you the sensation of being in another world. Others take you to heaven and hell. Then there are those bands that place you comfortably inside a booth, at a bar about to close, struggling to polish off that bottle of beer filled with more backwash than straight-up alcohol. As you finish the drink, the band finishes their set, and you raise the empty bottle to pay tribute, maybe offering up a drunken "Whoo-hoo!" Such sensations you may get when listening to [...]
