((The Silent League)) Band Profile and Upcoming Chicago Concerts - Oh My Rockness

This expansive New York orchestral group has shared the stage with similar sounding bands such as The Flaming Lips, Polyphonic Spree and Granddaddy. Heavily influenced by Brian Wilson, The Silent League's poignant chamber pop relies on intricate arrangements balanced with delicate vocals to create majestic and meticulously crafted songs. A big buzz is being built on the heels of their phenomenally praised album, The Orchestra, Sadly, Has Refused. They have sold out shows at Fez, Mercury Lounge and Joe's Pub. Don't hesitate to see them now before they become bigger than Jesus.
