Beat The Meatles @ Caseyspub

FRIDAY JAN 1TH. BEAT THE MEATLES at Casey’s Pub 8pm There are A LOT of Beatles cover bands. Why should you care about this one? Well, we don’t just play the hits, and we definitely don’t dress up and talk in fake english accents (maybe the accents sometimes). What we do is mix up setlists with improvisation, alternate versions of songs, and deep cuts from their huge and diverse catalog to please both hardcore Beatles and jam-band fans. Anywhere from Earth Wind and Fire’s funkified version of “Got To Get You Into My Life”, to Sonic Youth’s heavy and psychedelic, “Within You Without You”, anything is possible at a BTM show! A rotating cast of some of Chicago’s finest musicians come together to take you across the Beatles universe in a totally new and exciting way.
