Chicago-based trio The Smith Westerns are making an appearance in NYC in the new year at Webster Hall to promote their sophomore album, Dye it Blonde.  An intentional separation from their lo-fi debut, their recent effort doesn’t cut corners at all when it comes to full sound; the band brings in choirs singing rich melodies, which has led to an explicit comparison to Oasis from a number of reviewers.  Joining forces with Porcelian Raft and Bleached, The Smith Westerns are sure to put on an arena-worthy show that shouldn’t be missed.  Tickets and more information can be found here.
