Electric Hawk Share An Early Taste Of Their Imminent Second Album Tonight At The Hideout

• Electric Hawk: guitarist Michael Burns, drummer Noah Leger, and bassist Graham McLachlan

Tonight at the Hideout, local math-metal instrumentalists Electric Hawk play a headlining set that features material from Electric Hawk II, their forthcoming second album. They expect to see copies of the LP back from the pressing plant in March; the album officially drops April 14, and there ought to be a release party sometime that month. Opening tonight’s show are RLYR (Trevor de Brauw of Pelican, Steven Hess of Locrian, and Colin DeKuiper of Bloodiest) and Exit Verse (a newish power trio led by Geoff Farina of Karate). The bill is basically wall-to-wall with Chicago scene lifers who’ve been in more bands than most people have had hairstyles.
