Eleventh Dream Day Album Release: By the Time They Got to Lounge Ax
Eleventh Dream Day’s album By the Time They Got to Lounge Ax features 16 songs across two LPs drawn from four Chicago performances recorded between 1991 and 1994, capturing the band during a defining period of their career at the legendary Lounge Ax.
“Eleventh Dream Day had a long relationship with Aadam Jacobs and his tape player,” says the band’s co-founder Rick Rizzo. “Dozens of our local shows were captured on Aadam’s gear. When Aadam asked for permission to set up his microphones, it was easy to say yes, as long as it was okay with the club and he didn’t release anything without our knowledge. He always gave me a copy of the show. Forty years of tapes later, he approached us about putting out a record to document that relationship. I dove into the recordings to try to figure out exactly how to do that, and now here is the document to celebrate it all: Aadam’s recordings, the best club in Chicago history, dear friends and great fans, and a band that can’t stop.”
