No skateboards at Chicago’s House of Vans on Wednesday night. Instead, the West Loop venue/skate park played host to Canadian indie rock powerhouse Wolf Parade, alternative singer-songwriter Torres, and Chicago’s own Lillie West’s project, Lala Lala.
It was a choice late summer soiree that wrestled with several moods: Lala Lala got feet shuffling, Torres added a little melancholy into the mix, while Wolf Parade stomped across the stage for an incredible hour of hits and deep cuts.
