Must-hear live performance & conversation with the Inventors (Episode 198)

Chicago indie band the Inventors joins me for encased meats from the underrated Hot Dog Station (4742 N Kimball Ave, Chicago, IL 60625). Before they played a phenomenal version of their new song ("Apartment"), we chatted about: The Inventors' show on 11/30 at the Underground Lounge (GO SEE THEM!) The Inventors history, dating back to high school: "We found the couple (of friends) we liked, and stuck together." Less than a year after their last album, they're ready to go with a new one. THEY NEVER STOP INVENTING. The fantastic Inventors song "10s & 9s," from where the band's first album title ("Counting Backwards") came from. Band motto: "Keep it simple, stupid." "Beautiful": The new song and video The new album is self-titled for a reason. The Inventors' homecoming, playing a show in their hometown. The new song "Apartment" sounded A-MAZE-ING when they played it live in my car. Car Con Carne is presented by The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston
