[No tantrums today — it's Fitz's birthday. Cheers to Michael Fitzpatrick on the eve of his band's big homecoming show at the Music Box:] Tonight's flurry of activity: ► This week's installment of the free Also I Like to Rock series at the Hammer Museum will sizzle with a little joie de pop — headlining are Grouplove , the L.A. quintet whose debut album "Never Trust a Happy Song" arrives Sept. 13 via Canvasback/Atlantic.

Yourself And The Air come to us from the small Midwestern town of Chicago. I was lucky enough to catch them at The Comet Tavern last week and really enjoyed. Yourself creates pure atmospheric indie rock, similar to Modest Mouse, with a little bit of Phoenix thrown in for fun. I was hanging out between [...]
Live This Month: July 2011 (Podcast #252) In Live This Month , we sample some of the great local and out-of-town bands performing in the coming month in the San Francisco Bay Area. As summer touring heats up, a bunch of buzz bands are coming through town this month, and the arriving Iceage, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and Cold Showers have all received strong praise for their debuts. Meanwhile, several locals, including Release the Sunbird, Form & Fate, and Painted Palms, all have new records they're supporting with SF shows. Last, but not [...]
Chicago's Yourself & the Air don't look nearly old enough to have released four EPs in four years, nor do they appear sage enough to arrive at the sound they've crafted — intricately arranged and often dreamy indie-rock that's had reviewers name-checking the likes of the Cure, Les Savy Fav, Animal Collective and Modest Mouse. Years from now, you'll be able to graph the band's growth on those baby-step EPs, the most recent of which, "Who's Who in the Zoo," was released this spring. However, here's hoping that the EP format is merely a monetary caution for this [...]

Chicago trio Yourself and the Air are heading out on tour in support of their recent release, Who's Who in the Zoo EP. Who's Who in the Zoo is the band's fourth EP since 2006. Yourself and the Air's indie pop provides the perfect soundtrack to the summer. The drumming is tight, but the heavily reverberated guitar and loose keys give the band an experimental edge that creates a swirling ambient trail for listeners to follow. Hailing from Chicago's lower west side, [...]
It’s such a great weekend for festivals in Chicago. We’ve got Taste of Randolph occupying the West Loop with the salivating sounds of British rockers The Heavy and Swervedriver as well as local rockers JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound and The 1900s . Not to mention the three-day birthday bash going on at Saki featuring Great Society Mind Destroyers and much, much more. With so much rock happening there’s really no need to wait. Let’s get on with the show! [...]
Yourself And The Air is from the suburbs of Chicago, but the band has the hard-working mentality the city is known for. The attitude is a funny juxtaposition to their lazy, dreamy music, but they churn out spacious melodic electropop at a prolific rate. They just dropped Who’s Who In The Zoo , which was recorded in a month in a home studio. It’s the band's fourth EP and they’ve dealt with a line-up change for each one. It’s also their first record put out with the help of a label, Lujo Records—and the story of the signing is [...]
Friday, June 3, 2011 Today's Quick Mention: Later this month we'll be sponsoring a show with Elaine Greer, the Sour Notes and a slew of other great acts. Check it out. Then immediately make plans to go. And now, some music. Enjoy. : Fair Ohs - Summer Lake : Lefse Records has really been working it in 2011. Seemingly every other week I get a neat little pop track from some act that's a new addition to their [...]
The temperature is in the mid-eighties, it's impossible to walk three blocks without sweating, the AC unit is in the window, and it's fashionably acceptable to wear white again.. guess that means summer is officially here! It's not even June yet and it feels like July, so if you're longing for the cool breeze Mother Nature is so reluctant to give, young Chicago outfit Yourself and The Air can give you temporary sanctuary with their new single "Trampolines". [MP3] Yourself and The Air - Trampolines [...]
Chicago trio Yourself and The Air create an organic blend of intricate and dreamy indie rock with spacey atmospherics on their excellent fourth EP Who’s Who In The Zoo , released May 24th on Lujo Records. The band has been touring constantly and gliding under the radar for far too long. Who’s Who in the Zoo should finally gain them the attention they deserve. Here Erick Crosby from Yourself and the Air talks about the band’s new EP, plans for a national tour this summer, and [...]
First, let me set things strait. I'm exhausted. I've been working 18 - 27 hour shifts all week in Joplin, MO at the disaster relief headquarters, so if these Sabbaths are a little late over the next few weeks, now you know why. I had mentioned in the previous two Sabbaths that for a while The Indie Sabbath is going to step away from its usual format and follow my work here in Joplin, as well as raising awareness for the people in the city of Joplin. I'm going to be writing about some pretty real shit, and if you [...]
