Do Something This Weekend...

Bitches... there are waaaay too many good shows this weekend. Tonight you have Flossy playing at Sonotheque, Designer effin' Drugs at Congress Theater, and Zebo at the Evil Olive, etc. Then tomorrow Sinden comes to Sonotheque thanks to Dark Wave, and then Potty Mouth resident Bushido hits Smartbar alongside Bald Eagle.

All that and I didn't even mention a little UK electropop band known to the public as Hot Chip. Yea they're playing two shows at the Metro and then doing a DJ set in the catacombs underneath at Smartbar on Sunday (link to a shit load of remixes at The Lemur Blog).

So there you go... nobody should have any excuse to not get out and see some good effin electro. NO EXCUSES PLAY LIKE A CHAMPION!

Well fear not my fellow Chitown electrobots. Two unnecessary parties are in line for the next couple of nights. Starting things off Wednesday night at the Double Door, Urb Magazine presents the 'Cool By Association Mixtape Release Party'. Apparantly there will be some 'fresh noise' from the likes of DJ Zebo, Murderbot and the Starters DJ's. Notice the guest list at the bottom of the flier... you might've heard of a few of them, Flosstradamus, Crystal Castles, and Kid Sister included.

Head over to Hot Biscuits for some tracks from the featured spinners. [link]

Then on Thursday we are privileged to be one of the cities on the "Tales of Colt45 Tour" which features Drop The Lime (many know them as Curses!). They're playing at the Hideout, which I have yet to visit, but heard some sweet things about. Chicago will have special guests Brilliant Pebbles, Clique Talk, and DJ Willy Joy on the decks as well.



Here are some of the latest tracks from Curses! that should get you in the mood for some weekday pan flashing.
