On Friday, the Cheniers play at Comet Ping Pong with local pals Greenland and a great band from Chicago called Tyler Jon Tyler. Listen to their song “Tick Tock Tick.” And read what Jonathan L. Fischer of the City Paper had to say about them:

Punk begets pop, that’s just evolution. Chicago’s Tyler Jon Tyler has the trappings of a garage-rock band (loud, dirty, stripped down), seems to play with a lot of bands of that ilk, and has a frontwoman who frequently wails like she’s in The Raincoats. But Rebecca Flores’ songs are a bit more refined, featuring massive hooks, smart-simple choruses (“Hey, hey, hey, hey-ee, hey, hey/Where have you gone, baby?”), and guitar riffs with more jangle than the C86 comp. The band, which also features Chi-town stalwarts Tom Cassling (Daily Void) on drums and Nathan Jerde (The Ponys) on bass, calls its sound “pop music for floozies,” which is probably just a cute way of saying they really like Dolly Mixture and the Aislers Set. But who doesn’t?
