Roll on by 2009.michaelkostal.com or click on the Kilo Radio Tab to check out the new tune by Michael Kostal called “Can’t Explain”.  A psych folk original that keeps the ambitious fellow on track with his one-song-per-month release.  It flows like the memories of summer and then ushers in a hint of fall air near the end of the song.  A pleasant audible experience indeed!

So we said we would have it in April… what’s for 4 extra months? We’ve been busy OK! Well thanks to the incredible not so edible Keith Hoffmann, the new Kilo Radio is now live! Click the radio tab to the right for a full playlist. We’ll be swapping out the tunes pretty regular, and will occasionally be featuring unreleased material. So sit back and let your favorite indie label stream some sonic bits and bytes to your eardrums.

“This year’s Rock ‘n’ Vote runners-up put on one of the city’s most unique live performances. A few words: Cello. Drums. Masks. Drama.” -Matt Pais

See you at Schubas.

Ahh. Sure feels good outside in Chicago right now. And let me say, we deserve it! The nice weather isn’t the only thing to be excited about. The new self-titled All Things Lucid LP drops this summer, and we’ve decided to leak two of the tracks on their myspace, “Let It Begin” and “Antibiotics”. With May quickly moving behind us, we encourage you to gear up because June is going to kick some serious ass. June 2nd: Lucid presents at Pecha Kucha Night. June 13th: Get gritty at The Empty Bottle. June 30th: The boys have their debut Schubas appearence.

See ya around town.

It’s the last day of April, and you know what that means… MK-DAY! Michael Kostal releases his newest song for the fourth month of the year in this new, melodic, funk-filled song titled Thanks. Gives your ears some Spring pleasure and check it out at http://2009.michaelkostal.com.
