Chicago-week is le bump--- undoctored fun all night every night, so follow the bouncing ball:
June 1 (thats tonight) - Apparat at Sonoteque. He was at one time, Erykah to Ellen Allien's Common, but tonight he is playing for $4 at the eurotrashy bar on Chicago Ave. Softer, pliable minimal Berlin sounds.
June 2 - Hold Steady. (I almost wrote "Lifter Puller" - same dif.) at the Bottle.
June 3 - Mr Dibbs avec une Bluprint at Logan Square Auditorium, which has the accoustics of a barn and every sound rings out like it's being broadcast through a Mr. Microphone the size of an airplane. Should be good inspite of this.
June 4- early: I.C.E. performs works by John Cage, and debuts work from Xenakis, Lobera and other moderns Concert Hall at Columbia College - 6 pm/free, late is Catfish Haven at Schubas.
