Chicago, IL

Cost: $10

West Philadelphia Orchestra - West Philadelphia Orchestra plays music that is mostly rooted in Eastern European folk music traditions... jazz ... tinged with punk rock, soul.

These Infamous Gifts - Marquee Moon cover band with me on the bass (doing the low bass parts), Geoff Benge and Nils St. Cyr on guitar, Jordy Kozer on drums. EXCITING!

"On June 12, 2009, we will all stop absorbing the electromagnetic radiation that is the Analog Broadcast Television spectrum. To commemorate the end of Television we will be performing the classic 1977 album Marquee Moon in its entirety. The performance will be accompanied by a unique video installation."

we're opening for the crazy horn band, so i predict we'll go on around 9:30pm

old TVs will be set up behind us displaying video from the past through the present. a friend of ours is going to have the video sync up with our performance through some gadget he built (i hope!).

I've never heard the record you're playing, but i'll go because hanging out with Rios is awesome.

[shammywhammy]

You had mentioned possibly doing this a few weeks ago while we were hanging out in the kitchen at that other show, I'm glad to see it's actually going to take place. This record is important, although I get the feeling that a lot of people on this board would hate it/find it boring.

If I can somehow find my way back to Chicago that night, I will attend this.

Ok, I just listened to this and it was awesome. On the downside, the ringing in my ears wont stop since I removed the buds. I think I may have damaged my ear-drum. Does anyone have a home remedy for this?
