Going On’s…

Friday you’ll be able to see Chicago’s own La Dolce Vita perform live at the Deb. You might remember these guys from their thick-as-hell Yelle remix? If not then check it here. Also, if you’ve got nothing going on tonight… head up to Smart Bar where James Murphy and Pat Mahoney of LCD Soundsystem will […]

Black Holes and Starterations

Hmmm… I came here to post news about the newly formed Chicago DJ duo, Black Holes… thinking that I had already posted about one half of the duo, El Topo. But I guess I never got to that… shame on me. But to make up for it, here’s some press for an upcoming show this […]

Thrills + Culture Prophet

Chris and Michael of Culture Prophet were kind enough to send over another obnoxiously addictive blend of electronic sounds. DJ’s everywhere need to start mixing this into their sets ASAP. And more great news regarding CP… word is out that they’ll finally be stepping foot in the windy city again… this time attending The End […]

Filme de Coldplay

Here’s a few vids I took while at the Coldplay concert last Tuesday here in Chicago. Very entertaining to say the least… to think how far these guys have come since the last time I saw them in a 2,000 seat state theatre in downtown Detroit, back 7 years ago. They’re definitely our generation’s U2, […]

Gummy Bearries Juice

Now these guys are pretty schweet. Bearries, from Chicago, are made up of Franky (Flux), Ryan (Khemist), and Teddy… and they’ve been around the city doing house parties and live sets for a while now. They’re actually about to venture off into the unknown (east and west coast) for some more live performances that should […]

They hear the bass and they say WHOA!

the keen eye finds humor in everything A-Trak has returned to the second city and will be performing (if you didn’t know already) at Sonotheque tonight. Free admission if you planned ahead and RSVP’d per Dark Wave’s event page (i did). Here’s a few to get you pumped up, not that he’s going to be […]

Black Ghosts B-Sides

The Black Ghosts have a new album out NOW OMGZ!!2! And the cool thing (besides a new full-length from the other former half of Simian) is being on the Black Ghosts mailing list and getting free B-sides in your inbox! I guess I’ll be nice (to my bitching roommate) and post them for all to […]

A-Trak to Chi-Town

Our favorite party promoters Dark Wave Disco are bringing one of the best DJ’s in the world to keep the hipster crowd happy at the beer friendly confines of Sonotheque. Be sure to RSVP for free admission before it’s too late. As always, Trancid, Mark Gertz, and Kid Color will be warming things up before […]

SOLVE Chicago

One of my biggest flaws is not keeping up with local news (that is, news that doesn’t involve electronic music). After reading both on Trash Menagerie and Hot Biscuits however, I was saddend to hear about the loss of a Chicago icon. The artist known as SOLVE will be greatly missed not only as an […]
