ROOKIE @ The Empty Bottle (9/12)

ROOKIE is a six man,  rock-indie ensemble, who’s sound is dedicated to bringing back a familiar air of the classic rock of the 70s and 80s. Their sound is not just some boring carbon copy however, ROOKIE is able to tread the same grounds while keeping things fresh and expanding upon the sound we left off on. Having six members allows them to experiment with layered sound from different instruments, showing off ROOKIE’s great cooperative spirit.

 

The band was started in Chicago, playing at multiple all age venues, bringing an inclusive atmosphere. ROOKIE has 8 EPs and a self titled album. Songs Hold on Tight, Fake Grass, Sunglasses, One Way Ticket, and I Can’t Have You but I Want You, have garnered the band much attention. 

 

If you want to see the next evolution of the feeling that classic rock brought us, and see it applied in the modern day, be sure to see ROOKIE live!

MacGregor Salmon: Transfer student from Texas A&M to Loyola University Chicago, I am a Film and Digital Media major. Though my primary study is in film, I love all things creative and want to immerse myself in all kinds of mediums. Sharing and discovering music with others has always been an important part of my relationships with others. I grew up on funk, and the first song I can remember hearing is Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder. I still have much love for funk, but I also lean towards alternative, jazz, and anything experimental as I love to hear how new artists are changing the music scene. I find myself on Soundcloud often, looking for creative new works by independent artists. I also consider myself to be a writer, I love to write creative short stories, but I also want to use my skills as a writer to further my appreciation and understanding of music, and the artists behind their work.
