Chicago Noise

[nailbny]

Anyone know what happened to the Chicago noise scene. Did it die with Club Rectum?

[PTM Jim]

Kind of died after the fiasco that went down when we did Varnish II fest. It hung on for a bit, but since Omar really held it all together, once Rectum went away, that was a coffin nail.

Think there is still an audience for a noise fest in Chicago? Kind of messed up that we don't have one (that I know of).

[HateSermon]

If you build it, they will come. Lots of different scenes in the surrounding states / cities that I'm sure would make the trek if the fest looks interesting.

Endangered Species is it I think. The guy behind it just did a show the other night at some art loft.

Hypothetically, who would be a current draw to Chicago that's not Brighter Death Now or Merzbow (or that stature)?
Mortido
Illusion of Safety
Whitephosphorous
CBN
Compactor
Like Weeds
Bison Squad
Yellow Gas Flames
Choke Chain?

[HateSermon]

I would consider heading out for Mortido.

Yellow Gas Flames

Not Chicago, they're LA
