LIVE: Ones to Watch Presents COIN and The Aces

This past Saturday night, The Aces and COIN took over The House of Blues Chicago to put on a stunning show to the sold out venue.

After only touring for the first time with Joywave at the end of 2017, The Aces returned to Chicago in a blaze of glory, with some new songs and old favorites. The four piece's breakout single "Stuck" has racked up over five million Spotify streams, and it definitely acted as a set highlight, but the eager crowd was already singing along to The Aces' brand new single "Lovin' Is Bible," which they had only released the day prior. The Aces' music compliments certain elements of COIN's music so well, so anybody that had yet to hear of the latter was quickly won over by their carefree, catchy riffs and sticky choruses. The band and audience bounced infectious energy off one another, starting the night on the right foot. 

When the Nashville natives of COIN took the stage next, the energy of the crowd only amplified, and the crowd mimicked a surround sound speaker system, echoing the lyrics of COIN's songs back to the stage. As the setlist weaved through different sections of COIN's discography, featuring newest track "Growing Pains" and tracks like "I Don't Wanna Dance" and "Talk Too Much" from 2017's How Will You Know If You Never Try, the crowd remained relentless. They danced along with the pop-fused rock songs, causing the floor of the Downtown venue to act as a trampoline, propelling everyone to keep moving. The high spirits of the audience and the band themselves never wavered, and their intense production and lighting complimented the upbeat music. 

The night ended with a roar of appreciation, not just for COIN, but The Aces too, and an ambitious and optimistic air clung to the concert-goers as they left the venue at the end of the night, knowing that they'd just witnessed a monumental moment. If you missed out on the show, check out our photo gallery of both bands for a look at evening!

LIVE: Maybird with The Aces and Joywave at Lincoln Hall 11.21.17

The Brooklyn-via-Rochester quartet Maybird kicked off a stacked lineup at Lincoln Hall last Tuesday, warming up the stage for The Aces and fellow Rochesterians in Joywave. Their short, but sweet set brought retro-tinged, warm tones reminiscent of 1960's and 1970's psych rock. While they jammed during songs from their latest EP, called Unraveling, the band members exuded an easygoing chemistry between one another. Although Maybird has been around for a few years, they mentioned this was their first performance in Chicago...but based on the crowd's engaged response throughout the set, they should be back soon. Check out photos of the entire show from Emily Nava below.
