Middle-by-Middle Middle
Chicago’s fortunate to have a super-supportive (nay, incestuous?) music scene, many of whom have roots back to a lil’ place called The Hideout. So who better than Hideout to host “Sending the Four Star City to the Lone Star State” party? The mini-fest is a fundraiser for all the bands travelling’ down to the Sundance Film Festival, oop, I mean South By Southwest in Austin.
Performing is a laundry list of the city’s faves, some of whom will soon be called “indie buzz bands” by Entertainment Weekly or something. A mere $10 gets you into this shizzle:
12:00 - Sybris
12:45 - Apteka
1:30 - Cameron McGill
2:15 - Mittens on Strings
3:00 - JT and the Clouds
3:45 - The Hood Internet (DJ STV SLV)
4:30 - Hollywood Holt
5:15 - Bound Stems
6:00 - Make Believe
6:45 - Reds and Blue
7:30 - Pit Er Pat
8:15 - Waco Brothers
9:00 - Tight Phantomz
9:45 - Killer Whales
10:30 - Icy Demons
11:15 - Tom Schraeder & His Ego
12:00 - Ezra Furman & the Harpoons
12:45 - Scotland Yard Gospel Choir
Rounding down, that’s like, $0.72 a band. Your door cover will let you go in & out for the whole day (like there’s anything else to do on Wabansia & Elston), but it will be packed by the end of the night. -Brian Howe Battle

Huzzah!!! Thanks Bri!
Haven't heard nearly enough from JT and the Clouds either... Once upon I couldn't get through a dday without their feel-good "God Bless this Beautiful Morning" tune.
Buzz bands indeed...some of your infamous playlists have included many of these, no?
And didn't I hear that Hideout wants this to be a nudist event though? No? I'm making that up? Well I'll be there, so we'll see.
In case you can't find me in the sea of skin, I'll be the one wearing a sock.
