PHOTOS: Okey Dokey with Zuli and Faux Furrs 3.22.18

Last Thursday night, Chicago's own Faux Furrs perfectly complimented Zuli and Okey Dokey as they all shared the stage at Schubas. All three bands had just wrapped up a stretch of shows at SXSW in Austin earlier that week, but they all still exuded a charismatic and entrancing energy. If you missed out on the evening, check out our photo gallery of the show below!

P.S. Faux Furrs will be playing ANCHR's next showcase on April 20th with Blue Dream and Engine Summer. Grab your tickets here.

Live: Molly Burch at Lincoln Hall 3.7.18

Last Wednesday night, Austin native Molly Burch provided a treat to a sold out Lincoln Hall crowd before Alex Cameron's set. Short and sweet, Burch's set captivated the audience with hauntingly delicate guitar melodies and Burch's signature brooding vocals as she sang songs from her debut album, Please Be Mine. At certain moments, the audience members were so enchanted by Burch's old-time Hollywood style songs that you could hear a pin drop, but between songs the room erupted in applause. Check out photos of the mesmerizing performance below.

This past Monday night, the trifecta of Anna Burch, Saint Pé, and Ezra Furman hit the stage at Thalia Hall, giving us the perfect start to the week. Anna Burch kicked off the evening with her calm demeanor, playing songs from her debut album Quit The Curse and dishing out witty quips between songs. Ian Saint Pé of Black Lips took the stage next with his new project. Saint Pé and his band quickly won the crowd over with new material and a captivating stage presence. Finally, Ezra Furman wrapped up the night with a theatrical and powerful performance, playing old favorites as well as new songs from 2018's Transangelic Exodus. Furman's set included a full band and production that completely engulfed the crowd.
