LL has already been apprised, but I'm probably bowing out tonight as I continue to recover from a touch of something untoward I contacted this weekend. But I'd sincerely like to make it out and meet up with y'all sometime after the new year has been rung in. Assuming we don't all perish in the flames of Armageddon tomorrow.

Apparently Brendan Canty from Fugazi has a new band and they played at Schubas last night.
This is where I make a sad face for being semi-old and out of touch with teh scene.

ok question - if i am going to suggest this as ilx unity fap event, does anyone care if it's fri or sat? is there a compelling reason to go one night over the other, j?
― and that sounds like a gong-concert (La Lechera), Monday, 11 March 2013 15:44 (eleven years ago) link
I can do Sat but not Fri.
― your fretless ways (Eazy), Monday, 11 March 2013 15:48 (eleven years ago) link
the only difference is that the fri show is 9 - 1 and the sat show is 8 - 12. because of that, i feel like friday is a hotter show and better attended, and saturday is a little more chill?
― queeple qua queeple (Jordan), Monday, 11 March 2013 15:49 (eleven years ago) link
I could make the mid-1 hour on Friday if that's what happens. Otherwise, chillwave brass band.

The Bats are playing schubas in a few weeks, which is kind of exciting?
Also, Juliana Barwick is bound to be awesome. Have you seen this, straight out of Connecticut, the best state: http://vimeo.com/58489792

yeah, I think I'm gonna go! and probably S too, since it is on during her break.
I don't think I've heard a bats song released after 1987, so maybe I should get on that.

Anyone going to Destroyer (solo) + Azita at Old Town School next week? I'm seeing Charli XCX the night before, but man, Bejar in a setting like that could be fantastic.

Oh wait, maybe it's sold out? Old Town site says, "No seats currently available. Please check back later." :/
― Geoffrey Schweppes (jaymc), Friday, 1 November 2013 15:00 (ten years ago) link
Old Town is bad about putting sellout notices on their site proper, I've had the same thing where it doesn't show up as sold out until I actually go to buy a ticket.
I put this on the Chicago thread but Bottomless Pit (ex-Silkworm) is doing a free in-store at Saki on Sunday that I'll be attending. There are DJs and food too I think.

does anyone know if shows at the burlington are routinely extremely late to start or did i go on a bad night?
also there's another one of those weird red bull things at the EB -- this time it's Nazoranai + Oozing Wound 5/20, $3 with rsvp, should be awesome
i don't know why i bothered starting this thread but hey here it is and i'm trying to plan ahead
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Monday, 21 April 2014 13:35 (ten years ago) link
burlington shows ime start on time, but somehow I always ended up going on like thursday nights so maybe they run a tighter ship on school nights to keep the neighbors happy?

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.
― BlackIronPrison, Saturday, 19 December 2015 00:52 (eight years ago) link
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.

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.
