London-based up-and-comers White Lies play a free show at Chicago's favorite no-frills music hub, the Empty Bottle. Lead singer Harry McVeigh is a true crooner who seduces with resonant low notes as well as electrifying forays into higher registers. The band's big sound and melancholy themes (its hit single is titled "Death") have enough emotional pull to cause us to drunkenly swoon into nearby strangers. White Lies' hotly anticipated debut album, To Lose My Life or Lose My Love, comes out on Fiction Records in January. Japanese Motors lend support, getting the crowd in the mood with catchy, surf-inspired garage rock.
