Get Ready to be Lifted: Fiona Dickinson, Glowfriends, and husband&wife Plays at Louie’s on 2/28

What better way to say goodbye to the grey month of February will colorful music? With these artists, this night won’t so much of a show as much as it will be an experience to cherish.

Louie’s trophy house presents Glowfriends, husband&wife, and Fiona Dickinson on February 28th.

Starting at 9pm, for those who are 18 and older, the show will be celebrating husband&wife’s new LP release Dark Dark Woods.

husband&wife has been touring since the beginning of February, where they have been stopping by various venues in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. They’re a quintessential indie-rock group, building slow melodies with steady basslines, and weaving song like threads with guitars. It’s intelligent pop rock.

While male and female vocal harmonies feel ethereal, and the addition of vibrations add bright colors to a shoegaze-influenced Glowfriends. The group echoes the influences of Slowdive or My Bloody Valentine while crafting a more youthful sound. Wash away the winter-time woes with layered dreampop.

Fiona Dickinson is part of the local Double Phelix collective, and her show will be an ethereal treat. Once she opens her set, the music will demand your undivided attention. Prepare to be haunted by her vocals, reminiscent of Bjork, as she blends shoegaze and old time folk with orchestral and choral arrangements. Her sound is lush, full, and symphonic when she includes backup musicians who might play reverberated slide guitar to the cello.

So please bring $5 for the touring artists. And do please come for these artists. You’ll take a lot from this experience.
