Seven Day Run

I don't know what it means, I haven't asked. I'm sure it's similar to Three Doors Down. To me, it doesn't matter what it means, it's not about the title, it's about the music. Seven Day Run is a local Chicago band that I think has alot of promise and an awesome sound. I have spoken to the guys in the band, and they are all down to earth and seem like the guys next door, but when they get onstage it's amazing. If you're ever in the Chicago area (or live here), I'd highly recommend catching one of their shows. They will be showcased at Uncommon Ground for 5 weeks this summer in which they will play a show each week, and the shows will be recorded and released on a subsequent album.

I have heard both the "full band" and "accoustic" versions of their shows, and I have to admit that I like the accoustic shows the best. They are typically in smaller, more intimate venues...and it's really nice being up-close with the band. It almost feels like they are playing just for me.

Kevin, the lead singer, has a great voice and has alot of energy when he's performing. He's also completely hilarious in between songs, and very complimentary to the venue as well as any other acts playing that night. The lyrics to the songs are thoughtful and deep as well as funny at times.

I can't fully describe how much fun it is to watch Seven Day Run perform live, but I hope that if you ever have the opportunity to catch one of their shows, I'd recommend it because I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Their next show is tomorrow, March 25th.

Cheers,
Rocco
