Popping in to update the Chicagonauts show calendar :sweat_smile:

  • Tonight at Empty Bottle, 9pm. Understudy live set. Kinda spooky minimal, lo-fi stuff. No cover.

  • April 30th at Subterranean, 7:30. Angel-Maker is the headliner. Coldwave/post-punk/synthwave from Indianapolis.

  • May 5th at Podlasie Club, not sure of the time. Ron Morelli (founder of L.I.E.S. Records) touring in support of his upcoming album Heart Stopper, a collection of raw House tracks with a nod to the classic 80s style. Club Music (Chicago-based new beat) will also be performing, possibly also guest appearances by other L.I.E.S. artists. Not much more info available yet.

Also the next Hot on the Heels will be May 2nd at California Clipper, but they haven’t announced the lineup yet. I’ll post here when I see it.

Another show update -

Drone Rodeo in a church/loft in Printer’s Row on the third Thursday of every month- so tomorrow 4/20. I went last month and enjoyed it, fairly eclectic ambient music.

Also a Digital box!

Edit. Maybe I shouldn’t have broke my 3 year sobriety with a 100mg edible.

Looks like one of the Alessis (or is it Roland?) drum pads and a 1010 Blackbox?

Okay,

I talked to the guy running the TR8S

It’s TWO 1010 Blackboxes…

And TWO Digitakts.

And an MPC.

Digitakt running clock. That’s crazy. I always have problems with Logic and the TR8S.

I mean I could run the Syntakt as clock, but I hate running a drum machine with a drum machine.

Could the Analog Heat mk 2 run clock?

Allen and Heath mixer with one guy running that alone.

There are three of them. I don’t know who is who, it’s loud and I’m faded.

Plus I already asked too many questions.

Dope house set.

Next H.O.T.H. lineup announced for next Tuesday, the 2nd, at the California Clipper.

Beau Wanzer on the decks as usual, starting at 9pm.

Live sets by

k.oz (Soundcloud, Bandcamp)

Eden Aurelius (SC, BC)

Live sets started around 11pm last month, just a heads up.

Also, Giant Swan is playing Empty Bottle May 25th. I caught them there last September and that is a show you don’t want to miss.

Unfortunately I’ve already got tickets to see Martin Dupont that night so I’m gonna have to miss it 🥲.

The new exhibit at the Art Institute, Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde: The Modern Landscape is definitely worth checking out. It also features artwork by Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Emile Bernard, and Charles Angrand. Currently, Illinois residents get in for free on Thursday evenings from 5pm-8pm, and the Van Gogh exhibit is an extra $10.

That looks like it could be fun! I wonder how they plan to set it up.

I was curious about that too. It was posted by @nfcrecords on instagram if anybody wanted to reach them with questions.

Great show tonight, and Derrick Carter kept that party moving. I always feel spoiled by the number of great festivals we have in the summer, and the amount of talent we have here.
