MARK RELEASE OF

NEW ALBUM "NOW: CHICAGO XXXVI" OUT JULY 8

WITH USATODAY.COM EXCLUSIVE OF VIDEO FOR
"MORE WILL BE REVEALED"

 

As their new album NOW: CHICAGO XXXVI hits stores today (7/8), CHICAGO are excited to see the new video for the song "More Will Be Revealed" posted exclusively on USAToday.com. Check out the video here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/07/08/video-premiere-chicago-more-will-be-revealed/12308445/. The new album was released in the U.S. via Frontiers Records and captures the band-adored by generations of fans since they formed in 1967-at their "rock with horns" best.

Currently on tour in Europe, the band return to American shores for a tour with REO Speedwagon July 31 through September 9, to be followed by more headlining dates on their own.

The band--founding members ROBERT LAMM (keyboard, guitars, vocals), LEE LOUGHNANE (trumpet, guitar, percussion, vocals), JAMES PANKOW (trombone, percussion, keyboards, vocals), WALTER PARAZAIDER (woodwinds, backing vocals) along with JASON SCHEFF (bass, vocals), TRIS IMBODEN (drums, percussion), KEITH HOWLAND (guitars, vocals), LOU PARDINI (keyboards, vocals) and WALFREDO REYES, Jr., (percussion)-recorded the album on "The Rig," their custom-made state-of-the-art mobile studio. Penned by Robert Lamm, "More Will Be Revealed" is an uptempo signature CHICAGO song, replete with powerful horns and an immediately catchy funk groove.

Featuring 11 brand-new, original songs from the group known for their groundbreaking rock-with-horns sound, "NOW" CHICAGO XXXVI was written and recorded on the road during the band's rigorous, never-ending tour schedule, playing for fans who have supported them since they formed in 1967.

After Europe, they return to the U.S for a tour with R.E.O. SPEEDWAGON including an August 1 date at Los Angeles' Greek Theatre, an August 9 show in Chicago as well as New York-area shows August 16 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ and August 17 at Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY. Tour dates can be found here: http://www.chicagotheband.com/tour.html

Originally formed as the CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY in 1967, the band found almost immediate success and have become a bona fide institution of American music. Their signature sound of solid rock songs augmented by the best horns in the business has endeared them to several generations of music fans. Hit singles include "If You Leave Me Now," "Saturday In The Park," "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is," "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," "25 or 6 to 4," "Beginnings," "I'm A Man," "Hard To Say I'm Sorry," "(I've Been) Searching So Long," "Look Away," "Just You And Me" and "Old Days," among others. The band has accumulated a total of 47 gold and platinum records awards and their Chicago Transit Authority album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year. Chicago, the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six decades, came in at #13 in Billboard magazine's list of Top 100 artists of all time, the highest-charting American band.
