Re: [microsound] chicago clubs

[Christopher Sorg <csorg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I live, work and perform in Chicago, so their are quite a few places I can
tell you about.  The top few I can think of right off the top of my head
are Deadtech, the Hothouse and the Empty Bottle.  Deadtech
(www.deadtech.net) is a pretty nifty gallery for tech arts.  Rob has audio
performances monthly (sometimes more) and is a good designer
and nice guy besides.  Karheinz Essl and Kim Cascone have
performed there, along with quite a few other good performers.

The Hothouse is a world music/experimental jazz/electroacoustic space with
a bar and a gallery space.  The Hothouse is a really nice space with a
wonderful sound system, and I've seen some spectactular work of all sorts
there.  Nick Collins has performed there and at Empty Bottle as
well.  Empty Bottle is a catch-all for all sorts of music.  Oval and Add N
to X will be there in July.

I can proably get more information to you later this week.  Unfortunately
I'm at work so I can't get it all now.  Good luch.
