😱A celebration of old-school Chicago punk is at hand! This showcase is completely nuts!😱
DJ-ing this event:
the legendary Aadam Jacobs
@thataadamguy - who’s gone viral recently for his 10,000 live recordings of Chicago music shows (including pre-teen spirit Nirvana) (see recent documentary “Melomaniac”)
the legendary Brian Peterson
@firesdie who booked and promoted for the Fireside Bowl forever (and will be featuring his insane collection of posters and flyers at the event)
Neil Sandler who played in seminal Midwest punk band Gauge, currently in Rollo Tomasi
@rollotomasi999
Adam Norden of American Heritage
@american_fucking_heritage
Further, to add insult to plenty of injury, these completely insane people we know who know those guys above – who’ve co-curated our You Will Die exhibitions, released electronic music on our label
@someoddpilotrecords , played in Chicago post-rock legends Ghosts N Vodka, and have also played in that Chicago metal band American Heritage – are in a punk band called NIXD
@nixdband and they’ve got a brand new record they are releasing on their record label XCHCX. Join us the day it releases (!!!) for a sort of birthday party for a thing just born.
Come join us for a good hang. Everyone is welcome, curious and OG alike. Let’s make friends. We all need more.
