CHEER-ACCIDENT Comes To ProgDay 2008!
CHEER-ACCIDENT have been identified with (and some say creators of)
the Chicago post-rock scene since their formation in 1981. Multi-
instrumentalst THYMME JONES has led the band through many incarnations
since then, along with guitarist JEFF LEIBERSHER who joined in 1988.
Between 1981 and the present the group has constantly progressed and
experimented with different styles, from complex prog to progressive
pop, to noise and sound collages.
Along the way they have worked with virtually everyone in the
underground Chicago scene, from famed producer/engineer STEVE ALBINI
to JIM O'ROURKE (GASTR DEL SOL, WILCO, SONIC YOUTH, etc.). The band
released its 14th album, "What Sequel?," in 2006. Produced by JOHN
McENTIRE (TORTOISE, SEA AND CAKE), "Sequel" features the band again
exploring the prog/pop landscape with their unique, unclassifiable
approach.
CHEER-ACCIDENT are coming to Progday with guns blazing, in the form of
an expanded 7-piece lineup that we're sure you won't want to miss!
