[Patrick Cosmos]

These shows are all looking bad as shit. I'm going to go to them all and quit my job and learn to have fun again and live life

live life like you've always lived life and love life as life lives to be loved

[NsubUlysses]

Say you were only able to go to this show or the Powerhouse Sound one. Which one would you choose?

[tonyc]

That's tough because Powerhouse Sound are totally amazing, but NRG Ensemble only plays once in a blue moon, and Rob Mazurek plays less. If Hal Russell were still alive, I say NRG Ensemble, but since he's dead, I'm going to recommend the Powerhouse Sound show.

The lineup for the Rob Mazurek group now reads "music for solo cornet & computer" on the Hideout website.

[Patrick Cosmos]

That will probably be not very good (see also Chicago Underground Duo).

Also, NRG Ensemble sounds like a dance group from the early 90s.

Since When?

[Patrick Cosmos]

I mean their name sounds like a 90s dance act, not their material.

NRG ENSEMBLE: GETT U WETT (DANCE MIXX)

[1 X 1]

Yeah, it's a weak name.

[NsubUlysses]

I think I'll go to the Rob Mazurek one because then Mark Mazurek will be there and I can give him a CD.

Are there tickets for this?

The bill has completely changed for this date. NRG Ensemble is out, and, now, Rob Mazurek is playing two sets with Kevin Drumm (electronics), Jason Stein (bass clarinet), & John Herndon (drums). In between sets Vandermark Soundclash will be spinning a set titled Right Place Right Time: A Survey of ESP Records.

[Patrick Cosmos]

That bill now sounds fully badass. Kevin Drumm live is a spectacle.
