About this event
FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:SHINER$25 General Admission // $30/seat reserved tables SHINER has always been about evolution, dodging genre labels and pushing musicalboundaries since their inception in the early 90s. Known for their punishing yetmelodic approach to rock, the bands sound has morphed from the raw, untamedenergy of their early years to something more refined, layered, and introspectiveon their latest release, BELIEVEYOUME.Schadenfreude, the bands last record, released just as the world was shuttingdown in early 2020. Great timing on our part, says Josh Newton (guitar).Schadenfreude was dark and maybe a little claustrophobic, which makes sense,in retrospect. This new record, BELIEVEYOUME, feels more open and moreimmediate. We came in with fewer pre-written ideas and just reacted to each otherin real time. Less brooding, more instinct. Still heavy, still weirdjust breathing alittle more.Recorded over a series of multi-day sessions at bass player / engineer PaulMalinowskis Kansas City studio (Massive Sound), BELIEVEYOUME took shapequickly and with purpose. Initially, it was a process of sifting through phonerecordings, picking what hit us, and then going straight into the studio to flesh itout, says Allen Epley (vocals / guitar). The results felt immediate, with no roomfor overthinking. While most of the basic recording was all done live, additionalinstrumentation was tracked by Josh Newton (guitars / keyboards) at MassiveSound and at his home in LA, and Epleys vocals were tracked at his home studioin Chicago. Once the songs were locked, occasional touring member and mixerMario Quintero (Spotlights) and Malinowski fine-tuned the mixes before handingthe record off to Mike Nolte at Eureka Mastering in Portland. In the end, the bandsmix of live, spontaneous energy and post-production prowess shaped the finalsound, a blend of the bands signature heaviness with a newfound openness.
