Overman with Local H! December 12, 2008

Friday December 12th, Come out to Tailgaters in Bolingbrook and see one of Overman's best shows yet. Overman opens for Gold Album selling/hit making/Proud Illinoisians Local H!!!

Local H's first album, Ham Fisted, was released in 1995. Their 1996 follow up album, As Good as Dead had a successful release due to the popularity of the hit song "Bound for the Floor." Two years later, in 1998, the band released Pack Up the Cats, a critically acclaimed album which spawned the single "All the Kids Are Right". During the period surrounding the album's release - their label, PolyGram, merged with Universal Music Group and the album's promotion became a casualty of the transition. Despite these difficulties, both "As Good as Dead" and "Pack Up the Cats" were eventually certified as gold records, meaning that they sold in excess of 500,000 copies in the United States, according to the RIAA standards at the time.

Local H also has a reputation for creative ideas with regards to its live shows. In addition playing a show in Chicago every New Year's Eve, the band has also participated in several unconventional concerts over the years.

Most recently, Local H played a series of shows to promote the May 13, 2008 release of their new album 12 Angry Months. Starting on May 7th; Local H consecutively played each of their albums in chronological order, one album a night, at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago. According to the band's website that allowed "hardcore fans" to get "the chance of a lifetime" to see the band perform their entire studio catalog, with one night devoted to b-sides and rarities. A presale/promotional package for this event went on sale on before the bulk of the tickets were released on March 8th, and the special week long passes that included a commemorative t-shirt sold out in seconds. The final show on May 13th was filmed by Seattle-based King of Hearts Productions for a soon-to-be-released live DVD.
