Two Songs: The Kane Sisters

Urge Overkill - Erica Kane

Art Brut - Emily Kane

Growing up in Chicago (or even the suburbs :-) in the mid-90s, you felt some pride in bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Urge Overkill and Veruca Salt, who had the entire nation talking about the Chicago-scene. That's why I smile came across my face when I heard that Urge Overkill were still touring to this day. Lead singer Nash Kato played a solo show at Mercury Lounge last month, while the entire band returns to the Bowery Ballroom on April 29th. This song Erica Kane is off their mega hit album Saturation. While Erica Kane is about an obsession with Susan Lucci's TV soap opera character, it is not to be confused with Emily Kane, the song from Art Brut about a childhood crush turned adult obsession.
