I never had a lot of Chicago show contacts back in the day, and don’t really have any now, so I hope folks here might have some advice. My performance group (link in sig) is playing in Milwaukee Friday, June 21, as part of QWERTY-fest, a typewriter themed conference. We still haven’t booked flights and are hoping to tack on a Chicago performance on an adjacent day: either Thursday 6/20 or Saturday 6/22. Typically, libraries, museums and literary/historical/egghead organizations work really well for us, but bars and nightclubs are great as well. DIY noise/experimental/ambient scenes would work as well. Any suggestions?

The last time we were in Chicago we played Phyllis’ Musical Inn with a marching band and it was awesome.

Thanks!

Have you reached out to The Hideout? They have been pretty friendly to that sort of thing and I am pretty sure they have that Thursday still open.

Oh cool! I haven’t been to Hideout but obviously it has a great reputation. If the evening is open, are there any other Chicago performers, here or in our sphere, who might be interested? We have performed with indie rock bands, comedians, burlesque groups, fetal-position-power-electronics, ambient artists, poets, so really anything goes.

I think Pelada play their final Chicago show on Friday. Hope they get a good send off.

Chicago show in June with our own FM four_oclocker_2.2 and former (?) FM Eliya! We are really looking forward to this and have been working for a month or so trying to get this all set up.
