Earlier this year, the folks at Audiotree recorded four local bands performing at Thalia Hall, a lovingly restored historic concert hall in Pilsen. Over the next two weeks, we're sharing videos that highlight beautiful spaces within the venue as well as music from some of Chicago's most talented performers.
Today, we're premiering a performance of "No Human" by dreamy indie pop purveyors Santah—a song that appears on the group's upcoming sophomore record Chico (out November 6 via Yes Club Records). The quintet performed an acoustic rendition of the ballad while standing in one of Thalia Hall’s opera boxes, which are a lasting reminder of the building's beginnings as an opera house. You can hear this song and many more when Santah celebrates its record release at Lincoln Hall on November 20.
Want to experience this beautiful Pilsen institution in person? Time Out Chicago is co-presenting the Chicago Humanities Festival Closing Party at Thalia Hall on November 8 at 7pm. Marking the end of CHF’s Pilsen Day, the event will feature music from Sones de Mexico Ensemble, Dos Santos and Sonorama.
