The new album is more energetic than the previous ones, but the moody yet melodic vocals of their two lead singers still carry the day. The xx\u2019s sound is minimalist, with lots of space left untouched. It\u2019s the musical equivalent of being shy. However, it works and since their debut in 2009, it has been hugely influential with Drake, the Weeknd, Justin Bieber and others borrowing their\u00a0coy austereness. Seeing The xx at the Aragon should be quiet, sullen, yet spellbinding and likely will leave you in a positive place.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_4\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Listen to this now: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1_oA9UmRd4I\" target=\"_blank\">On Hold<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_5\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Deadmau5<\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_6\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>May 4 @\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Aragon Ballroom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_7\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15979 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/deadmau-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"deadmau\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/deadmau-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/deadmau-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/deadmau-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/deadmau-1300x731.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/deadmau.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>It\u2019s worth showing up to the Aragon just to get a glimpse of Deadmau5\u2019s light-up Mickey Mouse-like helmet which glows and pulses to the music. However, the EDM pioneer has a new trick up his sleeve: it\u2019s called the Cube 2.1. The cube is basically a huge Rubik\u2019s Cube full of LEDs and TVs that Deadmau5 is physically inside of, which is a multimedia spectacle to behold. This presentation in combination with the electro-house anthems that have made Deadmau5 one of the most prominent fixtures in the world of EDM will bring the house down. Deadmau5\u2019 show at the Aragon is likely going to be May\u2019s biggest party.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_8\"><em>Listen to this now: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BurmDVK_-eM\" target=\"_blank\">Digitol<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_9\">Mastodon + Eagles of Death Metal<\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_10\"><strong>May 13 @\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Aragon Ballroom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_11\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15981 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/mastodon-297x300.jpg\" alt=\"mastodon\" width=\"297\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/mastodon-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/mastodon.jpg 307w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/>Mastodon isn\u2019t just a heavy metal band; they feature progressive concepts and unique ideas. Their recently released album, <em>Emperor of Sand<\/em>, is about a dying man wandering the desert alone. The album explores what it&#8217;s like to be diagnosed with a terminal disease \u2013 talk about heavy metal. Even though the theme is dark, the music still kicks enough ass to make you want to bang your head. A bonus for this show is the opening act Eagles of Death Metal, which despite the name, is not a death metal band. They&#8217;re just a good-time, riff heavy, in-your-face rock band. This is a very solid show.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_12\"><em>Listen to this now:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gUGda7GdZPQ\" target=\"_blank\">Show Yourself<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ed_x_JoXeWY\" target=\"_blank\">Flames Go Higher<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_13\">Father John Misty<\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_17\"><strong>May 15 @\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Chicago Theatre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_18\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15977 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/fjm-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"fjm\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/fjm-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/fjm-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/fjm.jpg 712w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Father John Misty\u2019s third album <em>Pure Comedy<\/em> cries to be taken seriously. The lyrics make you think \u2013 and not always about good things. Father John presents themes of religion, pop culture, liberalism vs conservatism and what-the-heck-are-we-doing-here fatalism. At one point, he refers to the human race as \u201cdemented monkeys.&#8221; These pessimistic laments are presented in folksy, understated rock music. It shouldn\u2019t work, however, there&#8217;s something hypnotically satisfying about the whole thing. The night at the Chicago Theatre might not be the best party you&#8217;ve ever been to, but conversations over drinks afterward\u00a0will be intellectually stimulating.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_19\"><em>Listen to this now:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eHpV08wI-bw\" target=\"_blank\">Total Entertainment Forever<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_20\">Wanda Jackson<\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_21\"><strong>May 17 @\u00a0<\/strong><strong>City Winery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_22\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15976 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wanda_jackson-300x225.png\" alt=\"wanda_jackson\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wanda_jackson-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wanda_jackson-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wanda_jackson.png 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>At 79 years young, The Party Ain&#8217;t Over for this rockabilly and country queen. Jackson\u2019s one-of-a-kind voice is as distinct as when she first toured in 1955 with none other than Elvis Presley. Since then, the atomic fireball of a lady has had a career that spanned all types of musical genres and led to an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. She has influenced a host of great artists,\u00a0including\u00a0Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, and Adele. The performance at City Winery will be 60 years in the making and not to be missed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_23\"><em>Listen to this now: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GzDfYidKU5c\" target=\"_blank\">Shakin&#8217; All Over<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_24\">The Weeknd<\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_25\"><strong>May 23 @\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Allstate Arena<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_26\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15975 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/starboy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"starboy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/starboy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/starboy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/starboy-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/starboy-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/starboy.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_27\">If you haven\u2019t listened to The Weeknd\u2019s song \u201cI Feel It Coming\u201d stop everything right now and go find it (or just click below). Released on The Weeknd\u2019s late 2016 album, <em>Starboy<\/em>, it\u2019s probably the song of the year (if not more). It seemed like it would be impossible for the R&amp;B singer to top the success of 2015\u2019s \u201cCan\u2019t Feel My Face\u201d, but now it seems like all The Weeknd does is produce hits. The show in Rosemont is less of a concert than an event. Will Selena Gomez be there? Will there be any special guests? (Drake recently hopped on stage with The Weeknd). What other surprises could there be? You\u2019ll have to be there to find out.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_28\"><em>Listen to this now: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vevo.com\/watch\/the-weeknd\/i-feel-it-coming\/USUMV1600690\" target=\"_blank\">I Feel It Coming<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_29\"><strong>Best Music Street Fest in May:<\/strong><br \/>\nMayfest May 19-21<br \/>\nJust south of Lincoln, Ashland and Belmont intersection<br \/>\nFeaturing (among other) Too White Crew, Hairbangers Ball and The Boy Band Night<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_30\"><em>Featured Image Credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/the-weeknd-vancouver-concert-2017\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Hive<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer music festival season is almost in full swing.
