COYOTE 2012: Club Lucky Restaurant Welcomes Music and More
Built in the style of a 1940s super club and cocktail lounge, Club Lucky is a casual Italian neighborhood restaurant that offers generous portions and an authentic touch. Brick walls, formica tables, and oversized Naugahyde booths provide a genuine design element to compliment "grandmother's recipes" on the menu.The signature antipasti platter changes daily, and may include marinated eggplant, charred red peppers and asparagus spears, stuffed zucchini rolls, or sweet carrots sautéed in garlic and white wine. All sauces and pastas are made on-site, and each recipe is made with what Owners Bobby Paladino Jr and Jim Higgins call " a little bit of love." The most sought after dishes are the Chicken Vesuvio, The lamb Chops, the stuffed pastas, and the Chef's daily specials. Desserts are all homemade, with the profiteroles (pastry stuffed with ice cream) being the most popular. The cocktail lounge boasts Hand crafted cocktails and signature martinis, with the "Killer Martini" voted Chicago's Best. Be sure to try the seasonal food and cocktail specials, including homemade Limoncello, while dining on the patio. Club Lucky is once again donating an outdoor stage featuring 22 bands playing throughout the weekend. Relax and enjoy live music, good food, cold beer, and fine wine.

The Future Laureates Headline Sunday Sept. 30 @ 7:30 PM at Club Lucky
With a successful presence at SXSW 2012, plus airplay on 140 college and community radio stations, The Future Laureates are celebrating with unabashed energy and triumph. Offering positive punk-rock energy with folk/pop musicianship, their sonic champagne is frothing and bubbling with the release of their third studio album, “Fortress Sessions”. It is seriously full of fun. Since the release of their new record, the band has had their music talked about in blogs ranging from Music-Defined.com and Southside on the Town to Chicagoist.com, as well as a plethora of internet radio stations and podcasts.
They’ve established connections with fans over shared interests. The bleakness of current events or dynamics of interpersonal relationships faced by college-age crowds (most of them singing along) can’t be downtrodden as the pure sunshine of radio-ready pop comes through in every millisecond. Soaring harmonies glide through serious matters of the head and heart, along with major jamming by guitar, bass, drums–and ukulele.
2011’s “Rethink the Recession” led to reviews of “Kingston Blues,” the EP’s single, as “a fresh and fun melody led by a lively rhythm, brisk percussion, and warm, spirited vocals.” (Chicagoist.com) and “…it’s not just a gimmicky thing; he jams the livin’ crap outta that uke!” (DailyLimerick.net). The same year, the album won licensing deals with a variety of shows on MTV, Showtime, and Discovery Networks via Tinderbox music.
Touring has brought together even more fans through numerous Midwest and East Coast journeys as well as hometown venues including Chicago’s House of Blues, DC’s Rock and Roll Hotel, and the Congress Theater for the 3rd and 4th annual Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Festivals. They’ve shared crowds with Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes, Drive-By Truckers, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, hellogoodbye, Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons, JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound, and Dawes.
Through it all, they keep it smart, fun and rhythmic.
In 2012, The Future Laureates have added “the fifth Beatle” with Chicago’s CAUDog Records. Working with accomplished producer Ellis Clark (Nikki Sudden with Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Kim Thayil of Soundgarden), the recent album is their strongest effort to date. “We’ve treated it as a separate entity and process than our live shows, with additional organ, piano, horns, percussion, and most notably, violin,” says Danny Surico, primary songwriter for The Future Laureates.
“Fortress Sessions” sees TFL’s three founding members (Danny Surico (guitar/vocals), James Hyde (bass/vocals) and Matthew Daigler (ukulele/vocals) polish 12 gems with an unprecedented level of honesty about the songwriting and arrangements. Also contributing are special guests Ellis Clark on keys and organ, Mike Scheiman on guitar, Aaron Apter on drums and percussion, Kristina Priceman on violin, and Emily Claire Palmer on vocals. The album gained its unique title from the band’s practice space and songwriting hub, a coach house fondly nicknamed “The Fortress” tucked away in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood.
