Illinois Releases ‘The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe’

iTunes Pre-Release Today, Chapter One out on 11/4; Record Release Parties Kick Off Next Week. Preview Chapter 1 Exclusively At Spin.com This Week!

Chapter 1 of Illinois’ ‘The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe’ kicks off on November 4th (yes, Election Day), with our hero, Arch from Illinois, still in bed. It’s the worst moment of the day for us all: when we shake the lingering rosy glow of slumber from our minds – our perception still skirting the line between dream and reality. Like, did the guy on the radio repeat what I just said? Did that robot just give the time and temperature?

‘I’m not awake yet, am I?’ Arch asks. Is it all a waking dream, or is it reality? A question that philosophers have asked for centuries… But first thing’s first. Coffee.

As promised, each chapter of the short film comes with a 3-song ep. The tracklisting for the first installment is as follows:

‘The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe’ Chapter One:
1) Hang On
2) Irish Whiskey (iTunes Exclusive)
3) Tree
Film: ‘Arch’s Quest For The Perfect Alarm Clock’

The band embarks on a monthly record release residency of the East Coast on November 3rd starting in DC, which seems appropriate, given the day it precedes. When the sun rises the following day, the nation will wake up with Kid Catastrophe – and god knows we’ve all got some serious waking up to do.
