Taking the stage to Jay-Z and Kanye’s “Niggas In Paris,” Chicago’s Smith Westerns’ performance on Saturday night oozed a casual confidence fitting of the entrance music. Drawing primarily from last year’s critically-acclaimed sophomore album “Dye It Blonde,” the band turned Il Motore into a sweaty dance party for the enthusiastic, and noticeably intoxicated, crowd.

Set highlights included “Imagine Pt. 3,” “Smile,” and closer “Dye the World.” The band played two new, as-of-yet untitled songs, which didn’t show any noticeable growth, but continued their style of glam-garage rock.

Their songs may nod to the past, but here’s hoping Smith Westerns continue on to the future.
