The Life And Times
Whether one calls them indie, alternative, psychedelic or something else entirely, what’s clear is that Chicago-based The Life And Times play heartfelt rock n’ roll. They’re not concerned with the health of your eardrums, or whether their cavalcade of sound fits any predefined genre. The band pours out an electrifying wave of sonic angst that sounds good in any setting. They released their self-titled fifth studio album in 2017, showcasing the chemistry and confidence they’ve been developing since 2002.
Watch the video for “I Am The Wedding Cake” from their new album The Life And Times below, and check out their Chicago recommendations in our travel guide!
