Maps & Atlases with Laura Stevenson and The Cans
Maps & Atlases formed when the founding members met in art school at Columbia College Chicago in the South Loop of Chicago. Shiraz Dada (bass), Chris Hainey (drums), Dave Davison (guitar/vocals), and Erin Elders (guitar) got together to try to find a sound that is both technical and organic, in the same vein as their influences Don Caballero and Hella. Their latest tracks reveal an interest in virtuosity channeled through the West African guitar stylings the kids are digging these days. In 2009, the band was listed as the best new band in Illinois as part of The Boston Phoenix's 50 Bands, 50 States supplement. Brooklyn's Laura Stevenson and The Cans open the night, mixing textures, arrangements and folk harmonies to create a warm and inviting sound with diverse accompaniment from violins to trumpets to glockenspiels.
