"EPs are always a bit difficult to review because just when you think you're beginning to understand where a band/artist is coming from, the disc is over and you're left wanting more. That said, from what we're hearing on Sidewalks, Chicago's Weber Band most certainly seems to be on the right track. The band writes and records smart, thick, modern pop that reminds us of The Police and Peter Gabriel. The band's songs are accessible and extremely well produced. Six cool cuts here including "Watch You Leave," "Sidewalks," and "Jumpin' On The Bed."

01.25.07 - Openingbands.com & Illinois Entertainer Review Weber Band EP
Libby Daggers from Openingbands.com writes:
"Weber Band's debut Self-Titled EP released in August is no disappointment in their claim to be original local music.....have certainly created a unique sound for the Chicago scene. The band claims to have a number of influences including rock, pop, jam band, folk, reggae, hip-hop, rap, experimental, jazz, and indie. These influences are showcased throughout the entire EP. From the opening track "We Can" to the ending track "Fold" each song adds a new sound to the album. Between Weber Band's combination of musical styles and high energy the album flows from beginning to end with ease and is truly easy to listen to. If you are looking for some original Chicago rock look no further, Weber Band is here to satisfy all your needs."
Joseph Simek from Illinois Entertainer writes:
"Weber Band have morphed from the solo efforts of singer-songwriter Al Weber into a four-piece acoustic jam band in the vein of Dave Matthews Band or Guster. Helping keep our attention on the band’s self-titled EP are Weber’s heartfelt vocals and some engaging piano and organ work from Al’s brother, Andy. With their snappy pop delivery, the Weber boys, along with rhythm section of Greg Skelly and Brian Spagnolo, make their admitted interest in “blowing up” more than obvious."
We appreciate the listen Libby and Joseph. Thanks.

01.25.07 - Openingbands.com & Illinois Entertainer Review Weber Band EP
Libby Daggers from Openingbands.com writes:
"Weber Band's debut Self-Titled EP released in August is no disappointment in their claim to be original local music.....have certainly created a unique sound for the Chicago scene. The band claims to have a number of influences including rock, pop, jam band, folk, reggae, hip-hop, rap, experimental, jazz, and indie. These influences are showcased throughout the entire EP. From the opening track "We Can" to the ending track "Fold" each song adds a new sound to the album. Between Weber Band's combination of musical styles and high energy the album flows from beginning to end with ease and is truly easy to listen to. If you are looking for some original Chicago rock look no further, Weber Band is here to satisfy all your needs."
Joseph Simek from Illinois Entertainer writes:
"Weber Band have morphed from the solo efforts of singer-songwriter Al Weber into a four-piece acoustic jam band in the vein of Dave Matthews Band or Guster. Helping keep our attention on the band’s self-titled EP are Weber’s heartfelt vocals and some engaging piano and organ work from Al’s brother, Andy. With their snappy pop delivery, the Weber boys, along with rhythm section of Greg Skelly and Brian Spagnolo, make their admitted interest in “blowing up” more than obvious."
We appreciate the listen Libby and Joseph. Thanks.

The music continues to play. Please join us at House of Blues on Saturday, June 21st.
05.08.08 - Weber Band opening for Blind Melon!
First, thank you so much for coming out in full force to Double Door for the SBP 8th Anniversary party. It was an amazing night.
BIG NEWS - We are opening for Blind Melon at Metro next Thursday! Also performing is Van Ghost. Don't miss this!
01.29.08 - Thank You! / Upcoming Shows
Thanks to everybody that made it out to Abbey Pub last Friday! The show was a success despite the nasty weather. Big thanks to Pat, Goober, and Dan for organizing another bus trip.
Plenty of southside shows coming up, Goose Island in March, and mark your calendars for Saturday, April 26th - we will be playing the Shoeshine Boy Anniversary Party @ Double Door.
12.14.07 - Happy Holidays / Abbey Pub in January
We just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. 2007 was another great year for us, and you make it possible. Thanks for your continued support. Our next full band show will be at Abbey Pub on Friday, January 25th. This will be our first show at this venue, so we want to make it a good one! We have another bus trip in the works - we will keep you posted.
02.20.07 - Weber Band opening for The Samples! / No More alwebermusic.com
Thanks to everyone that came to Schubas last week. We just got word that we will be opening for one of our favorite bands, THE SAMPLES! The show is March 10th at Martyrs, which is a great venue. We realize that March is busy for most Chicagoland residents with all the St. Patrick's Day festivities, but if you guys can squeeze one more date on to your calendar, it would mean a lot to us. We've had opportunities to open for many bands that we enjoy and greatly respect. But this is the first time that we are opening for a band that we have personally listened to for over 10 years and seen in concert a handful of times. We are jacked for this one!
Also, alwebermusic.com is no longer a functioning website. Happy belated Valentines day!
01.25.07 - Openingbands.com & Illinois Entertainer Review Weber Band EP
Libby Daggers from Openingbands.com writes:
"Weber Band's debut Self-Titled EP released in August is no disappointment in their claim to be original local music.....have certainly created a unique sound for the Chicago scene. The band claims to have a number of influences including rock, pop, jam band, folk, reggae, hip-hop, rap, experimental, jazz, and indie. These influences are showcased throughout the entire EP. From the opening track "We Can" to the ending track "Fold" each song adds a new sound to the album. Between Weber Band's combination of musical styles and high energy the album flows from beginning to end with ease and is truly easy to listen to. If you are looking for some original Chicago rock look no further, Weber Band is here to satisfy all your needs."
Joseph Simek from Illinois Entertainer writes:
"Weber Band have morphed from the solo efforts of singer-songwriter Al Weber into a four-piece acoustic jam band in the vein of Dave Matthews Band or Guster. Helping keep our attention on the band’s self-titled EP are Weber’s heartfelt vocals and some engaging piano and organ work from Al’s brother, Andy. With their snappy pop delivery, the Weber boys, along with rhythm section of Greg Skelly and Brian Spagnolo, make their admitted interest in “blowing up” more than obvious."
We appreciate the listen Libby and Joseph. Thanks.
01.17.07 - Schubas Next
Join us on Friday, February 9th, as we make our full-band debut at Schubas. This is a big show because it will be the first time that we have played Schubas on a weekend night! We would love to sell this one out, so get your tickets now. Hope to see you there!
01.07.07 - Happy New Year, and Thank You!
We can't thank you enough for the support at House of Blues.

So, as we begin the new year, we wish you and your families only the best. And we hope to see you in 2007!
11.21.06 - House of Blues
First, thanks to everyone that came to Park West last Friday and watched us open for Virginia Coalition. We had a great time. What a great room. We are excited to be playing another great room very soon. House of Blues is December 22nd with Michael McDermott. See the "Live" page for details!
10.27.06 - We'll Miss You Spags
We are saddened to tell you that our bass player and very good friend Brian Spagnolo will be leaving Weber Band, moving to Arizona in November. We wish him the best of luck! If you know somebody, or if you are somebody that would be interested in dropping some fat ass into our songs, contact us by clicking here. Along with playing bass, we are looking for someone to sing harmonies simultaneously. Word.
Happy Halloween.
