Anni Rossi - "The West Coast"

*MP3: Anni Rossi - "The West Coast"

It's been a lot of fun to watch Anni Rossi turn into the crazy awesome musician she is. She started in Minneapolis, moved to Los Angeles, and is now back in Chicago. She's been killing it with the 4AD crowd and is getting the critical acclaim she deserves.

Her new album, "Rockwell," was recorded with Steve Albini in Chicago and is fabulous and is one-hundred percent worth picking up. Actually, pick it up on March 10. Don't worry, I'll remind you.

Upcoming tour dates:
2.12.09 - The Echo - Los Angeles, Ca. - with Whitman
2.13.09 - Ports O' Call - West Covina, Ca. - with Whitman
2.20.09 - Empty Bottle - Chicago, Il. - with Deer Tick and Future Clouds & Radar
2.24.09 - Museum of Contemporary Art - Chicago, Il
3.01.09 - Schuba's - Chicago, Il - with Loney Dear
