Fort Frances - Chicago (Sufjan Stevens Cover)

Fort Frances will be playing at Lincoln Hall on Sunday, November 3. In honor of playing in our fair city the band concocted a cover of Sufjan Stevens' "Chicago". Stream and download the track, which is unbelievably pleasant, below. For more information on Fort Frances, check out their facebook page, HERE!

So remember how Fort Frances is doing this cool thing called "As told by..." where they release a cover each month? You can download their latest here.
This month it's Daniel Johnston's Mind Movies from his 2009 release, Is And Always Was.

Pre-SXSW interview - Fort Frances

This year marks Fort Frances' first foray to SXSW.  So far, they have two shows in Austin, including our Grape Stic on the Town party on the 15th.
I spoke over coffee with David McMillin (vocals, guitar) about Fort Frances' plans for the future.
"We are in the midst of working on a new EP," he said. "I'm really excited about the songs."
They're also going to release a cover each month - they've just released one of Beck's "Guess I'm Doing Fine." Download below!

Fort Frances, Chicago's new band to watch!

02 Falling Down by sticoftheweek

On a raining Sunday night in February here in Chicago, Fort Frances played to a sold out crowd at Schubas. I was delighted when David (leader singer) reached out to me a few weeks before. I heard the song "Falling Down" (which you can listen to above), and I knew I had to go check them out live. They are such an amazing band to say the least, I actually went ahead and shared their music with friends one saying "these guys should be on the radio." 

The passion really breaks through in every song, you listen to every song, and are nearly sitting on your seat waiting to hear the next which comes up and seems to be just as good as the one before.

Fort Frances is a band located right here and Chicago, and has shows coming up, Stic readers, you should all go check them out! These guys are going places!
