Luxury Wafers Exclusive: Illinois, Live@Ches .."The Violent Femmes meet James Brown on the back porch of your old Kentucky home." That's how Peter describes these guys from Bucks County, Pennsylvania (not Illinois). Led by Arch, who writes, sings, plays guitar, banjo and keys and endearingly pours his humble heart - all the sad, raw, unwanted, cocky and desirous emotions - into the songs he so deftly threads and plays with the band, Illinois is a warm, southern rock flavored adventure. She's So Blonde and Nosebleed anthemically evoke foot stomping and rabble rousing. Where's The Woman I Know ends in a tracelike band jam highlighted ...Luxury Wafers9 December 2009
