Chicago Nauts Unite!

Saw a cool downtempo group tonight… just some chill, smooth, easy listening.

I didnt catch who they were… but it was contemporary jazz or something like that…

They performed in a little hole in the wall…

oh... wait. I have heard of them

Chase and muthafuckin STATUS!!!

The whole set hit, and Baddadan did pop,

But they closed out their set their new single with Stormzy that for some reason went REALLY hard.

“On the Block” is my favorite track though.

I would have gotten more footage, but I spent the show dancing too much.

Music Frozen Dancing is happening at the Empty Bottle today. I’ve been a bunch of times in years past, and I always enjoy it. Usually an interesting mix of bands and other music, and it looks like Egyptian Lover is there this year. And yes, this is an outdoor concert in the middle of winter, so remember to wear pants.

I’m playing this show next weekend at the Empty Bottle, if anyone’s interested in seeing some live hardware in a pop context!

MaryMary! uses an MPC, a Model:Cycles & a few Moogs live, and I play on a DT + DNK combo with a Roland VT-4 for vocals, plus a few master effects for performance.

I’ll be playing mostly material from my debut album that came out in February, which is up on Bandcamp & streaming services if you’re curious.

Not a Chicago Nuat but wanted to say congrats on the release and it sounds great!

Good luck at the show!

I’m playing this Sunday afternoon in the ESS garden! Stretchmetal puts on a lot of cool ambient shows and I’m excited to do something with them.

I’m doing it under my OVC alias and going on around 4pm. My setup is going to be MPC live, SSL Six, and H90.

I should have posted the events here, but last night I went to Podlasie Club early (6pm) for “So Ambient” - new ambient night where folks are sitting on the dance floor listening to loud sets of DJ and live ambient and adjacent music on the club system.

I stuck around for the “Hood Drumkit Anthemz” night particularly for the live set by Noise Shrine - she had a Digitakt, laptop, maybe mixer and FX pedals to create this real wall of sound that had a cool lurching quality, must have been using some weird loop lengths on the Digitakt.

Looks like the line is really backed up at The Wiener’s Circle.

Biking on a closed-off Wacker Drive is pretty great
