Baby Teeth and A.M. Slingers

Since 2003, Chicago’s Baby Teeth have brought joy to followers of lean pop/rock, thick vocal harmonies, generous hooks, and witty lyrics.  The trio features singer/songwriter/keyboardist Abraham Levitan (Bobby Conn & the Glass Gypsies, Shame That Tune), bassist Jim Cooper (Detholz!, Daniel Knox, Bobby Conn), and drummer Peter Andreadis (All City Affairs).  

Playfully self-aware, Baby Teeth’s energetic live show features ample three-part harmonies and memorable arrangements.  Cooper and Andreadis are both songwriters/bandleaders themselves, forming a pulsing, innovative rhythm section.  They’ve shared stages with indie luminaries like Fiery Furnaces and Silver Jews, made multiple appearances at Austin’s South By Southwest festival, and earned glowing reviews in Pitchfork, AllMusic, and the Chicago Reader.
When he was 11, Levitan began writing songs about middle age.  Perhaps it was a little premature?  Three decades later, he’s celebrating and skewering marriage, fatherhood, middle-class ambition, and the paranoid remains of the American dream.  What’s left to do when reality crashes the party of your stadium-sized dreams?  “Carry On Regardless”… to quote the title of Baby Teeth’s newest LP, produced by Bobby Conn.
