Whales Live at Quenchers

On Friday November 11th, 2011, Whales took to the stage at Quenchers Saloon in Chicago, Illinois joined by the most excellent Matt Engstrom on keyboards.

New Radiant Republic single available to stream/download!

After a successful show at the Observatory BBQ last summer, Radiant Republic (no longer “of Texas”) reconvened and recorded some new songs with Jim & Matte of Caffeinated Recordings (who need little introduction on this site. They basically are this site.) the day after Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun and the songs turned out pretty well, so stream it or download it (for free) while we work on more new stuff this winter.

For those not in-the-know, Radiant Republic of Texas was started in 2002 as the solo project of Brian Pennington (uh, me). After a full-length and 3 EPs, a band was formed and the name was shortened to Radiant Republic to reflect that. Members of the Chicago-based band also play in The Hype (live karaoke band), Faiz Zeppelin, and Lines and Terminals.
