Silver Apples and Holly Herndon are doing this $3 red bull dealie tonight! SILVER APPLES
See you there, Chicago.

Also I have had a fine time at Burlington since I had the above experience. I think it just depends on the show/crowd.

Bought single weekend pass to this today (it's 'spensive), may buy onesy-twosey tix for my wife or a bud as March commitments become more clear. Would love to say 'hi' & hang a bit La Lechera (compare drumming notes - crossing my fingers for a tambourine for my set for Xmas). Stoked for Night Beats, and of course, Faust, Royal Trux, & Bitchin' Bajas.

I'll be at Thalia for Killing Joke too Feb 9. For some reason, I plug into the Chicago show 'early warnings' more during the Holiday season. I'm just thankful that I live in such a music-rich city. I think 'stoked' is my most used ILX word, because of threads like this.

I saw you last year at this thing for like 5 min! I also think I may have seen you at the EB this fall but I can't remember which show - Windhand maybe? I'm thinking of getting the weekend pass as a holiday gift to myself. Talking drums is always fun!! Also RANGDA.

three weeks pass...

Anyone thinking of hitting Levitation Fest CH,ILL 2016 should do so 'cause Lightning Bolt has been added & they rule-ith. I'm a bit nervous about balancing some work projects & the 3 day pass, but I think it will be worth it, esp. as the top acts each day have face-melting performance potential. Would love to chat tunes w/ other ILX'rs if any go.

I'm pretty dang excited for Sabbath & Tommy Stinson next week! Anyone heading to either of those? Bummed Killing Joke show cancelled.
