Issue 129: synesthetic flavor

Those prone to SAD beware — this is the time when the seasonal clock strikes high gloom. Ashen clouds continue to smear the sky and the city's once-fresh snow turns from pristine white to grease-smudged gray. Adding a much-needed chroma boost to an otherwise monochrome palette, this week's outings are precision-engineered to recalibrate your color balance. Get perplexed by the Spanish nom de plume of Swedish chanteuse El Perro Del Mar and her bittersweet pop; shake it all out with the nonstop glam-rock attack of Pop Levi; see hues no one else is seeing with the psych-rock freakouts of Brooklyn's Akron/Family; and exterminate boring hip-hop with the avant-noise beats of Dälek. Elsewhere, a passing knowledge of The Shining allows John Malkovich to con others into believing he's a famous director; a dishonored mother sends a daughter on a bloody trail of revenge; and a holy mountain provides the backdrop for a hallucinatory quest for spiritual enlightenment. Bone up on your ROY G. BIV, and spread it.

Acid Washed
It's been 30 years since the reign of glam rock, but you wouldn't know it from listening to Pop Levi. The former Ladytron bassist updates the fuzztones but keeps the T. Rex-inspired groove and swagger intact.

MUSIC: Glam Nouveau
Pop Levi

when: Tue 3.6 (9pm)
where: Schubas (3159 N Southport Ave, 773.525.2508) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | Pop Levi

Over-the-top pop personas are nothing new to glam, but even with the genre's penchant for eyeliner smudges and prissy stage theatrics, Pop Levi stands out. A former Ladytron bassist and founding member of Liverpool avant-rock collective Super Numeri, Levi knows how to ride a groove, whether it's haunting and organic or electronic and streamlined. For his solo outing, The Return to Form Black Magick Party, Pop Levi slaps together sunshine-y West Coast pop with Anglophilic, Bolan-esque sleaze, topped off by his period-perfect wail. Apart from some contemporary production trickery, the formula isn't revolutionary, but energy and swagger like Levi's is always welcome. (PS)

  Which crime drama did Pop Levi deny the right to use his song "(A Style Called) Crying Chic"? The first and third correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

Cute as a button (on Sylvia Plath's dress), Swedish twee-mopester El Perro Del Mar carries herself with the mark of the strong but recently stricken, intoning her bittersweet songs with a wavering lip and an unmistakable sense of bitter grace. (AP)



MUSIC: Abstract Hip-Hop

Tue 3.6 (9pm) Subterranean (2011 W North Ave, 773.278.6600) map $10 / $8 advance

Event Info
 
Dälek deliver some of the most dynamic, challenging, sonically and lyrically innovative hip-hop being produced these days. Tonight, they play cuts from their surprisingly melodic new album, Abandoned Language, just before kicking off their European tour. (MJ)

MUSIC: Ska-Core
Against All Authority w/ Whole Wheat Bread

when: Wed 3.7 (7pm)
where: Subterranean (2011 W North Ave, 773.278.6600) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Against All Authority | Whole Wheat Bread

Miami's favorite ska-punk band Against All Authority has been around since 1992 — a lifetime, in ska years. Known for their strict DIY lifestyle and shoot-from-the-hip sound (seemingly untouched by time), AAA rails with classic anarchists' paranoia against yuppie materialism, racism, the hypocritical mass media, and good ol' Dubya. Their latest effort, Restoration of Chaos & Order, is exactly what one would expect from an aging, albeit awesome punk group: lispy, pissy, 100-seconds-long blasts adorned with infectious, super-shiny horn lines. Fist-pumping and hyper-kinetic skanking are de rigueur at AAA shows, so don't forget your wingtip docs and your old copy of Misfits of Ska II. (SN)



Thursday TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


LECTURE
Don Mitchell: Pretexts, Paranoia, and Public Space: Rethinking the Right to the City after 9/11

when: Thur 3.8 (6pm)
where: The Newberry Library (60 W Walton St, 312.255.3778) map
price:
links: Event Info

Don Mitchell might just be the most badass geography professor ever to walk this land. The Syracuse University prof and founder of People's Geography Project makes no bones about his radical, progressive approach and confrontational stance on the stuffy status quo of standard university geography curriculums. Today, the Marxist geographer discusses his work in progress, The People's Property: Power, Politics, and the Public, a j'accuse to politicos who use post-9/11 anxiety to restructure public spaces along class and race lines, broadening the growing chasm in international power relations. (SN)



DANCE
Association NOA / Company Vincent Mantsoe

when: Thur 3.8 - Sat 3.10 (8pm)
where: Dance Center of Columbia College (1306 S Michigan Ave, 312.344.8300) map
price: $18-26
links: Event Info

Sangomas (Nguni traditional healers) believe that communing with one's ancestral spirits and invoking their assistance is paramount in life. South African dancer, choreographer, and teacher Vincent Sekwati Koko Mantsoe comes from a long line of sangomas, and his faith in the spirit realm should disarm even those who come from a long line of incredulous Yankees. his company's new piece, Men-Jaro (slang for "friendship"), spans the globe, as dancers from Japan, France, South Africa, and the US move to ethnomusicologist Anthony Caplan's original score played on indigenous instruments from Africa. The tour is supported by government agencies on three continents. (ZW)

  What is the primary function of the KwaZulu, or African homeland? The second correct response wins a pair of tickets to the Thur 3.8 (8pm) performance.



FILM
Colour Me Kubrick (2005)

when: Thur 3.8 (8:15pm)
where: Gene Siskel Film Center (164 N State St, 312.846.2600) map
price: $9
links: Event Info | Colour Me Kubrick

For decades, directors have nicked techniques from Stanley Kubrick, one of film's most vital voices. But no one was as blatant a copycat as Alan Conway, a gay British con man who impersonated Kubrick for years, the subject of acclaimed British docudrama Colour Me Kubrick. Director Brian Cook and screenwriter Anthony Frewin, both Kubrick associates, embellished Conway's can't-make-this-shit-up exploits while peppering their film with sly references to the master's past works. But the real star is John Malkovich, whose rich portrayal of the sly and often successful impersonator is filled with unbridled flamboyance. (PS)

  For his role in a Kubrick classic, which actor broke Robert De Niro's 60-pound weight-gain record? The second correct response wins a pair of tickets to this show.



MUSIC: Uruguayan Folk
Jorge Drexler

when: Thur 3.8 (8:30pm)
where: HotHouse (31 E Balbo Ave, 312.362.9707) map
price: $25
links: Event Info | Jorge Drexler

While the world was rightfully excited by the number of non-US nominees for this year's Oscars, foreign flavor isn't exactly a new thing at the Academy Awards. Two years ago, Uruguayan singer Jorge Drexler won an Oscar for Best Song — unfortunately, his music was so far under the radar at the time that he wasn't invited to perform his own song at the ceremony (it was done by Antonio Banderas and Carlos Santana instead). Back amongst people who recognize a world-renowned musician when they see one, Drexler gets the high-roller treatment he deserves tonight, as the HotHouse hosts an evening of elegant acoustic song. (EJL)

Funky Buddha Lounge
 
Mike Cole and Mark Grusane of Mr. Peabody Records, the Southside's institution for vintage-vinyl addicts all over the world, step out from behind the counter to do what they do best — spin disco, soul, funk, and an astonishing catalog of pre-1985 hip-hop. (QH)



Friday TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


ART: Opening
Erica Lord

when: Fri 3.9 (6-10pm)
where: Polvo (1458 W 18th St, 773.344.1940) map
price:
links: Event Info | Erica Lord

As a Native American artist with roots in Alaska and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Erica Lord is drawn to explorations of race, ethnicity, memory, and the ever-elusive concept of home in her provocative, performance-oriented photography. In Trash Totems, Lord re-creates modern Alaska by building totem poles out of consumer products instead of traditional materials, evoking the dissolution of her identity as a Native American in a world of dying tradition. Elsewhere in the gallery, Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud shows her video piece Goofer Dust, which encourages the viewer to become the creator. (AE)

Note: This exhibiton runs through Sat 3.31 (Saturdays: 12-5pm).



MUSIC: Psych-Folk
Akron/Family

when: Fri 3.9 & Sat 3.10 (10pm)
where: The Empty Bottle (1035 N Western Ave, 773.276.3600) map
price: $12
links: Event Info | Akron/Family

Brooklyn-based psych-rockers Akron/Family claim that they play "music for people who like boats." Indeed, the blissed-out harmonies and washes of finger-picked acoustic guitars can be as gentle as waves lapping against a pleasure craft. And although the four placid multi-instrumentalists have even been known to play their largely improvisational shows sitting down, weird weather can be seen on the horizon. As evidenced by their recent album Meek Warrior, the Family's tribal drumming, group chants, noisy jams, and free-jazz freakouts are as jarring and exhilarating as a summer storm. (AM)



MUSIC: Mexi-Rock
Zoé

when: Fri 3.9 (11pm)
where: Green Dolphin Street (2200 N Ashland Ave, 773.395.0066) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | Zoé

There may not seem to be an alt-rock scene in Mexico comparable to the one in the United States, but signs point to a sea change afoot. One of the bands helping to shape the new sound of Mexican rock is Zoé, a Mexico City-based five piece whose bittersweet melodies and simmering guitars show an affection for '90s Britpop — a connection realized through Phil Vinall's (Elastica, Pulp) production on last year's Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón Atómico de la Vía Láctea. Vocalist León Larregui shows a studied appreciation of Blur's Damon Albarn, but the emotion beneath the vocals retains the ever-so-anthemic character of Mexican pop. (QH)



Saturday TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


ART
Shawnimal Smith: Totally Radish

when: Saturdays 3.10, 3.17 & 3.24 (12-4pm)
where: Rotofugi (1953 W Chicago Ave, 312.491.9501) map
price:
links: Event Info | Shawn Smith

Shawn Smith is the wacky designer behind Shawnimals, the legitimately fun stuffed characters for grownups. At Rotofugi Designer Toy Store, wee lil' ninjas with outstretched arms line up to offer the deadly "stealth hug," while plush mini-radishes with beady black eyes and green legs pop up throughout Rotofugi's gallery. Along with these stuffed-animal delights, Smith has some new playthings up his sleeve, including somewhat "artier" sculptures, drawings, vector drawings, and paintings, as well as t-shirts and buttons for all your ninja-based accessorizing needs. (AE)



ART: Opening
Melissa Oresky: Brittle Flow and Tomiko Pilson

when: Sat 3.10 (6-9pm)
where: Western Exhibitions (1821 W Hubbard St, Suite 202, 312.307.4685) map
price:
links: Event Info | Melissa Oresky

Melissa Oresky's series of paintings and drawings is inspired by glaciers, their size and vulnerability providing a metaphoric structure for her experiments in conceptual dichotomies. In the project room, Tomiko Pilson twists ethnic and gender archetypes in her first solo show with two large-scale canvases and one tiny painting. Intriguingly, her exhibition includes a study of the Filipino myth of the manananggal, a beautiful, murderous witch-monster who sprouts bat wings, rendered with Gauguin-esque style in dazzling hues. (AM)

Note: This exhibition runs through Sat 4.14 (Wed-Sat: 12-6pm).



READING
David Agranoff: Screams from a Dying World

when: Sat 3.10 (7pm)
where: Quimby's (1854 W North Ave, 773.342.0910) map
price:
links: Event Info | David Agranoff

No one does cryptic bloodlust and grotesque misanthropy better than a formerly incarcerated activist. David Agranoff spent almost three months in a federal prison for refusing to finger the people who attended a lecture by controversial environmentalist Rod Coronado, and he now channels his vague distrust of pretty much everything into his dystopic fiction, in which the cruel meat industry and hypocritical FDA are the evil antagonists. Screams from a Dying World collects six of Agranoff's short stories (with proceeds benefiting an LA-area animal sanctuary), all trading in politically charged, post-apocalyptic tales of an indifferent, apathetic time. (SN)



MUSIC: Folk Pop
Badly Drawn Boy w/ Adem

when: Sat 3.10 (8pm)
where: Metro (3730 N Clark St, 773.549.0203) map
price: $22.50
links: Event Info | Badly Drawn Boy | Adem

Listening to Badly Drawn Boy is an open invitation to a swaying, arm-in-arm sing-along. His fifth and latest album is clearly close to his heart: Born in the UK tells the story of Damon Gough, Manchester-born singer/songwriter, creator of Badly Drawn Boy, and co-founder of Twisted Nerve Records (home to Australian sample wizards the Avalanches). Gough's intentions become clear in the first ten seconds of the album's title track, which begins with a traditional (and very recognizable) British melody. With dance-y production from Lemon Jelly's Nick Franglen, Badly Drawn Boy's Born in the UK is yet another part-folk, part-rock opus from the prolific Brit. (VG)



FILM
Holy Mountain (1973)

when: Sat 3.10 (midnight)
where: Music Box Theatre (3733 N Southport Ave, 773.871.6604) map
price: $9.25
links: Event Info

Director Alejandro Jodorowsky, born in Chile and nationalized in Mexico and France, followed up his mystical western El Topo (1970) with Holy Mountain, a film that furthered his fascination with religious imagery, personal discovery, and, strangely, dwarf amputees. Holy Mountain's plot centers on a thief and seven other characters embarking on a spiritual quest for enlightenment — but Jodorowsky's visuals are the real psychedelic treat, cribbing a page from the the Luis Buñuel bizarro playbook. Too pretentious to be taken seriously, yet too astonishing to ignore, Holy Mountain exists on its own as a fascinating relic of weird cinema. (QH)



ALSO ON SAT

MUSIC: Hometown Heroes
Hideout SXSW Benefit feat. Catfish Haven w/ the Redwalls and the Zincs
Sat 3.10 (12pm-midnight) The Hideout (1354 W Wabansia Ave, 773.227.4433) map $10

Event Info
 
Today's show-full-o'-awesome benefits Chicago's finest bands before they make the 1200-mile trek to SXSW to blow the socks off some unsuspecting Austinites. You wouldn't want them stowing away on JetBlue, now would you? (SN)



ALSO ON SAT

FILM
Lady Snowblood (1973)
Sat 3.10 (7:30pm) Sonotheque (1444 W Chicago Ave, 312.226.7600) map $3

Event Info
 
When Yuki seeks to even the score with some dudes who did her wrong, blood flows and limbs are severed. Play spot-the-homage in this Japanese revenge flick, which had quite a few of its scenes "borrowed" by Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill series. (QH)

  Which deadly gadget does Yuki Kashima use on her enemies? The first four correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this screening.

DANCE
Diavolo

when: Sun 3.11 (2pm)
where: Auditorium Theatre (50 E Congress Pkwy, 312.922.2110) map
price: $34-49
links: Event Info | Diavolo

In an adrenaline-filled collision between dance and architecture, Diavolo returns to Chicago with another jaw-dropping production. The company has cemented its reputation with astonishingly brutal choreography that sends dancers diving, flying, and careening across and through super-sized architectural structures. Artistic director Jacques Heim's flair for dramatic, passionate imagery matches his dancers' unfailing courage in this startling production. Watch as his aerialists test the limits of their trust and teamwork while avoiding being crushed by cleverly designed moveable structures. (SND)

  In 50 words or less, tell us about a dance routine set in an oversized playpen. The four most childish jigs each win a pair of tickets to this performance.



Monday TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


MUSIC: Indie Pop
All Smiles w/ Prototypes and Philip E. Karnats

when: Mon 3.12 (8pm)
where: Schubas (3159 N Southport Ave, 773.525.2508) map
price: $6
links: Event Info | All Smiles | Prototypes | Philip E. Karnats

As everyone knows by now, the sweetness that was long-running West Coast indie outfit Grandaddy broke up last year. Luckily, guitarist Jim Fairchild decamped to Chicago to test his mettle as a solo artist under the nom de musique All Smiles. Our new favorite Windy City resident's upcoming super-low-budget Ten Readings of a Warning is a sunny collection of acoustic guitar ballads and gleefully rough-hewn piano-pop arrangements. In a somewhat odd pairing, former Tripping Daisy guitarist Philip Karnats opens with dissonant, Brainiac-style swagger, while Paris-based Prototypes get folks robo-dancing with spazzy, sexy electro-madness. (SN)

  Hailed by Fairchild as "the best rock band in the world," which group lent its drummer to All Smiles' debut? The third and fifth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.



Ongoing / Upcoming TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


ART
(Un)Restricted

when: Now through Fri 4.6 (Tue & Thur: 5-9pm)
where: Lloyd Dobler Gallery (1545 W Division St, 2nd Fl, 312.961.8706) map
price:
links: Event Info

This exhibition's three artists blur the boundaries between figuration and abstraction in thrilling new ways. Ann Tarantino's performative "breath portraits" involve the artist blowing ink through a straw and embellishing the blobs with paint, resulting in creeping, plantlike forms; Christian Rieben's large-scale paintings suggest mysterious psychological landscapes with a wicked sense of humor (one piece in particular, Ass-Fixated, looks like a giant, blooming mum, but the title suggests other possible interpretations); and Dominick Garritano's bombastic, lushly brushed painting resembles a series of small, mosaic-like collages of geometric shapes and playful, vivid color. (AM)



ART
Monica Rezman: Is Today Tomorrow

when: Now through Sat 4.7 (Tue-Sat: 12-6pm)
where: Navta Schulz Gallery (1039 W Lake St, 312.421.5506) map
price:
links: Event Info | Monica Rezman

For Monica Rezman, it's all about the hair. The artist, who splits her time between Chicago and India, explores the beauty, absurdity, eroticism, and transformative powers of the strands sprouting from our heads and torsos. Her incredibly detailed, classically rendered drawings of masses of strands, matted and curled in austere arrangements, hang wraithlike against stark white fields. Her recent foray into photography explores follicular concerns as well, portraying playful, kinetic images of her exuberant young daughter in a variety of wild wigs. (AM)



ART
Chris Verene: GALESBURG

when: Now through Sun 4.29 (Tue-Sat: 11am-5pm)
where: Gescheidle (118 N Peoria St, 4th Fl, 312.226.3500) map
price:
links: Event Info | Chris Verene

Acclaimed photographer Chris Verene began this series in 1986, at age 16, documenting the economic decline of his hometown of Galesburg, Illinois, a rural 'burb outside Peoria. Verene captures the residents and landscape of Galesburg in vivid hues and smart compositions, encapsulating entire narratives within his elegant images, each of which is accompanied by hand-painted titles and captions describing the subjects' stories. Often, though, no commentary is needed: photographs such as Lexus, in which a tiny, bawling baby lies on a shabby mattress alongside a TV remote control and a stuffed toy, are at once heart-wrenching and sublime. (AM)



Features TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


  GIVE DESTINY A HAND: Kizmeet  

As destigmatized as online connections have become, a lot of people still prefer to actually meet potential mates. Of course, in Chicago, chances to make connections come and go much faster than we realize. Kizmeet (a hybrid for destiny and real-world encounter) takes the stigma out of following up on the significant could-be others you meet on the street. While other services offer blind trysting with strangers who look good on paper but may or may not look good in real life, Kizmeet connects you with people you've already seen in person. Whether that random occurrence happens at a bar, gym, classroom, or the laundromat, you just enter the info on your encounter, and Kizmeet locates your could-be love. (JH)



 


  CD REVIEW: !!!, Myth Takes  

Warp Records
Released March 2007
$11.99 (Insound)

Rather than search for lyrical significance in the dense, multilayered tracks of Myth Takes, !!!'s third full-length album, you'd do better to just give yourself over to its explosive assault. As frontman Nic Offer spouts prose in the same nonsensical style that marked past albums, the eight-piece outfit behind him grows ever-more potent, shaking the floor with Liquid Liquid-style dance-punk beats and wild, funky riffs. The tribal percussion of "All My Heroes Are Weirdos" mirrors Talking Heads' more Afropop-inspired moments, while glossy bumper "Heart of Hearts" is melodic, muscular, and even radio-ready. "Bend Over Beethoven," meanwhile, may be the band's finest moment since classic 2003 single "Me and Giuliani Down by the School Yard (A True Story)," offering more nuance (and excitement) in eight minutes than other bands do on entire albums. (JPC)


 


  STREAMS: Beats in Space  

Fresh off a #1 ranking on Resident Advisor's DJ charts — a feat for any selector — Tim Sweeney returns for his weekly jaunt on WNYU's Beats in Space. In an ideal world, it would be available on satellite radio (listen up XM and Sirius!), but until it is, you can visit the show's website for podcasts and streams. Recent sessions include a punk-funk sci-fi disco mix from Padded Cell's Richard Sen and a set by Tigersushi's Joakim in support of his latest album, Monsters & Silly Songs. Phil South — of NYC's famed No Ordinary Monkey parties — also stopped by, dropping dub and an eclectic blend of tripped-out dance music. (CJN)
