This month we have The Exotics from Milwaukee making their debute appearance at the Chef on Saturday August 20th. Be sure to make reservations cuz these guys are goina fill the house! In case you've never heard of these kats, here's a little info... The Exotics formed in the Winter of 1994 and began their career playing to capacity crowds starting with their very first show. Maybe the surf explosion was fueled by the newly released movie Pulp Fiction, or maybe it was just time for something different in a music scene dominated by long haired hard rockers. The Exotics didn't care why, they were just enjoying the ride. After hitting every possible venue in the Milwaukee, they began playing farther and farther from their home base. They became a regular act at Lee's Liquor Lounge in Minneapolis and played many live music venues in Chicago at eight week intervals. The Exotics continued to play any city that would have them in a ten hour radius. Hundreds of gigs, one single and one LP later, the Exotics disbanded at the end of 1999. In 2005 the boys reformed the band and made featured appearances on the long running public radio program “A Prairie Home Companion” with Garrison Keillor and at the festival Chicago Exotica. In 2009 The Exotics unearthed the long lost recordings originally intended as the follow up to their now legendary “Go Go Guitars” LP. This album was shelved for more than ten years and subsequently forgotten during the band's all too long hiatus. That is until now! With their chemistry still intact and their sound stronger than ever, The Exotics are up and running again. Don't forget there's new food specials and specials in the bar as well. Saturday night August 20th the drink special is a Dr Fong w/ collector mug for $15, that's right, for $15 you get the drink and you keep the mug! So come on out, have some pupus, a tropical libation or two, and enjoy the swingin' surf sounds of The Exotics. We'll post FREE raffle photo later this week.
