I'll def check out Karl, I've heard good things but am not familiar with his music.
On a side note, any of you other Chicago locals know of any good weekly/monthly nights going on lately? I don't mean anything too clubby, but a local bar that has a good recurring music night would be nice. One of those situations where they let someone come in once every few weeks and play good records at a lounge or something, let me know if you know of anything, por favor. -Arturo
