Re: [microsound] Chicago venues?

[Joe Erickson <joe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hello

What type of sounds do you make? What type of environment would be best?

The metro is a small but bigger venue, elevated stage, bigger acts, probly
not what your looking for.

Danny's is a bar, no stage, performers setup on the floor, tables and
couches in back, mostly dark. More beat oriented the times iv seen, but
there was just a noisecore show there last night.

3030 - elastic revolution might be an option.  Seen many odd improvised and
electronic shows there.  Former church turned living and performance space.

Rotten Tuesday or Improvise with your Buddy would be a good possibility.  2
weekly events run by rottenmilk are very open to many kinds of music and
performance. Ones at a chill bar with free paint, pool, and hotdogs! the
others at an art gallery.
