The Regal Standard & The Sleeptalkers

I just got back from a concert at Schuba's, a bar/venue in Chicago (Jason Mraz has an album "Live from Schuba's", I just learned about. Fun fact.) Anyway, the bands, The Regal Standard and The Sleeptalkers are two Chicago bands on their way up. The Sleeptalkers was started by one of the founding members of The Red Walls, another Chicago band (Bobby and Neil's favorite) and tonight was their first show.

The Regal Standard opened and were awesome! Also they burned like 3 dozen cd's and brought them to the show and gave them out for free. All bands should do this; it's a fantastic idea. Definitely check them out and if you get a chance to see them live, definitely go, 'cause as good as they sound recorded, damn are they awesome performers.

The Sleeptalkers were good to, though it was at that point I had shoved half a chewed-up wad of paper in my right ear because we were right by the speakers. Overall two really great bands, both really great live too.
