Dave Hause, singer/guitarist of The Loved Ones, released his solo debut earlier this year, Resolutions. The album explores various genres and features several guest musicians, yet it’s Hause’s ability to craft memorable songs and tell stories with his lyrics that shines through most. We caught up with Hause before his recent show at Bottom Lounge to discuss Resolutions, in terms of how it was recorded and the ideas behind some of its songs. We also talked about the songwriters that inspire him, what it was like playing shows with Tommy Stinson, music videos and more.
Originally a printed zine from 1998 – 2004, our goal is to provide coverage of Chicago’s expansive independent music community, and to occasionally highlight some of our past work. National and international bands will be featured as well, but above all, we hope to create lasting content for music fans everywhere.
