Choon Group

What used to be a busy fb group became a collective blog based in Chicago, now simply tweeting from here, about choons and groups and other music-related things

Well, we must have done something especially nice recently to receive new @jai_paul music this weekend. The Group highly recommends checking out "He" & "Do You Love Her Now," + revisiting the infamous/classic 2013 leaked demo LP, now given official release https://t.co/qF8LVa96Sw

@DosSantosChi @LincolnHall Hey gentlemen, do you know your set time tonight? Seeing "Cambodian Rock Band" at VG and thinking maybe can still catch you...

Wallows’ @wallowsmusic "Nothing Happens" is an instantly infectious & energetic debut from an indie-goes-pop trio that shows real promise, feat also-actors @dylanminnette and @BraedenLemaster.

Rather than churn out another album of emo-nostalgia, Mike Kinsella & American Football @americfootball abandon the house and bravely journey into the wilderness with self-titled "LP3." @andrew_bailes reviews: https://t.co/47NdXce0sF

We're excited about the new Comet Is Coming @cometcoming album on Impulse. Science fiction jazz grit from yet another one of Shabaka Hutchings' bands.

@redrock_bball This Marquese Chriss performance tonight! A couple gif-worthy signature moments--the dunk over Allen and then hurting himself slapping the backboard on a block attempt in OT. Will be curious to hear what you think Cavs are planning with him...
