The Vacation Makes White Noise in Chicago

 

Los Angeles based band and American Recording artists, The Vacation, has not forgot about real classic punk rock.  They got to the core and put on a crazy, wild, and bar shaking show that Chicago embraced.  The band is led by identical twins Ben Tegal on lead vocals, Steve Tegal taking charge on lead guitar, the always entertaining Dutch on bass, and wild-man Denny on drums. 

 

The Vacation music is a shake-n-bake sound and style of Sweet rolled in with Iggy Pop.  Songs performed at Schubas include the catchy White Noise, Make Up Your Mind, Cherry Cola, and Trash.  One never knows what lead singer Ben will do next during the set but at Schubas he was seen climbing on a ladder to having fans slap him in his face to running threw the crowd and falling to the ground.  They are a bunch of fun loving guys, getting real excited about their April 2006 CD release simply called The Vacation.

 

For a wild night, why not book some time with The Vacation this year.  They are currently on tour.
