Creative Loafing (Charlotte) Music Menu TUESDAY, NOV. 20
ILLICITIZEN A Two piece featuring guitarist/singer Eric Cavanaugh (ex-The Blots) and bassist Maria Zaccaro, Illicitizen's demos for their upcoming full-length include promising touchstones from throughout the punk/post-punk era: the Jam's spiky beats, the Clash's agit-prop, early Elvis Costello snark, etc. Befitting the demo stage, the sound is a bit rough around the edges and should benefit from non-programmed beats. In other words, stay tuned. This is an item-donations Homeless Benefit, with Kimosabe and Holster also on the bill. Evening Muse ([Writer is John] Schacht).

Mog.com:
Our mog friend Doombilly from Illicitizen has posted up a latest demo that’s well worth a listen. I played it 3 times in a row, and it got better every time. It’s hard to fit their music into a category and this song, “Monstr0”, has all the passion of the classic 60’s Folk protest song, beefed up, with an element of Indie pop sensibility that draws my attention to The Verve’s 90’s Britpop. In fact if one listens closely, Doombilly’s voice has a boyish Richard Ashcroft sound to it. I like it a lot, particularly the lines, “I will steal your life, and come on to your wife,I disappeared your passport”. The vitriol isn’t haunting or threatening,it seems to represent a form of resignation to all the political, cultural and security mis-management that many of our friends across the pond feel right now. Give it a listen, I’m sure you’ll like it, and give a fellow Mogger our support. Here’s the link http://mog.com/doombilly/blog_post/58738

   About illicitizen
Originally a side project of musical arty-facts for Eric Cavanaugh to mess with in the studio (while his band flopped about). Illicitizen has become a full-time gig with bassist Maria Zaccaro. The band hopes to record some studio releases by the summer.

  • Illicitizen currently has a bunch of songs written for their debut full-length CD. We are demo-ing the preproduction versions herein. Victimized by our own success we seem to keep getting shows and have been unable to start recording the first LP yet. Strangely enough this has not kept us from starting to write the 2nd one...
