Dec 21 : "Half As Far" - Friko (Chicago)



A couple weeks ago I went to Cambridge Hall and saw Chicago band Friko, as they were on their tour through the northeast. It was my first time seeing the band as well as my first visit to Cambridge Hall. I've been to Warehouse On Watts, but never knew they had the smaller Cambridge Hall venue downstairs. (btw conveniently located to the 15).

Friko did a good show, playing a wide range of styles. That was one of the things that also stood out in my mind as I listened to their music online both before and after the show. They seemed at home in performing both the pulsating beats as well as the slower introspections and lush instrumentals.

Here is "Half As Far", which is the second track on the band's March 2022 EP, "Whenever Forever" :::




Friko doesn't have any other East Coast shows lined up soon, but here is the click to their Facebook page where you can keep up with what they're doing ::: Friko on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
