Cultural Stimuli in CHI
Issue 153: precipitating flavor
We may be meteorological amateurs, but last time we checked our Farmer's Almanac there wasn't anything in there about August turning Chicago into the tropics. Last week's thunderstorms, flash flooding, and continuous misting did not make for good times — usually the only reason we're this soaked is from an over-agitated can of Old Style. Towel off and make way for this week's cultural downpour as the MCA hosts the Chicago Dancing Festival, a staggering survey of top dance companies. Chicago comic Kumail Nanjiani returns with his new one-man show, while the Hideout hosts a discussion about National Lampoon's golden age of comedy. Rock the Bells brings the ruckus with an all-star rap tour headlined by the Wu-Tang Clan, and Queerfest Midwest brings the gay with Chicago's first queer summer music festival. And Elvis' soul brother Jesse Garon Presley filters the King's Vegas excesses through the prism of Branson, Missouri. So start singin' in the rain — and spread it.

In the age of TiVo, YouTube, and Halo, it's easier than ever to entertain oneself alone in a darkened room, bereft of human contact. Kudos, then, to Funny Ha-Ha, a local series of
comedic readings and monologues. A bracing corrective to the creeping solitude of modern entertainment, it celebrates the written word by presenting it live from the mouths of fecund creative writers. Tonight's lineup features, among others, New York Times bestselling
author James Finn Garner (Politically Correct Bedtime Stories), Alpana Singh (Check, Please!), and standup comedian Kumail Nanjiani. (BB)

For just one night, the Chicago Dancing Festival presents a slew of renowned acts from around the country. New York-based COMPLEXIONS combines choreographic intricacy with a sexy presentational style that is as engaging as it is genuine. Also from NYC, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater sends an ambassador for a landmark performance of the solo dance Cry, and the ABT trots out two of its finest for the punchy, show-stopping pas de deux from Don Quixote. Ballet Florida performs a Dave Brubeck-inspired piece by festival co-founder Lar Lubovitch, while five of San Francisco Ballet's peerless men take turns starring in Concerto Grosso. Our city is well-represented by the Joffrey Ballet, with its perennially performed Light Rain, as well as Muntu Dance Theatre of Chicago. (ZW)

Mika Miko w/ the Black Ladies and Fake Fictions
|
|
With their buzz-saw guitars, patented hair-dryer microphones, and a healthy dose of attitude in tow, Mika Miko have suited up and hit the road again. The LA-born, all-female quintet that cut its teeth supporting Kill Rock Stars veterans Erase Errata and the Gossip is now inspiring young audiences with its hyperactive, no-holds-barred party anthems. Spastic Chicago twosome the Black Ladies (who are neither) open, with pared-down, drum-and-bass tributes to the great women of history like "Eleanor Roosevelt" and "Tonya Harding." (JL)

Photographer Sarah Hobbs talks about her contributions to On the Scene, a stunning group exhibition of tightly orchestrated photographs by Hobbs, San Francisco's Kota Ezawa, and NYC- and Minneapolis-based Angela Strassheim. Hobbs uses elegant visual shorthand to depict our psychological mores in suites of photos such as Does This Sound Like You? and Small Problems in Living. Using her Atlanta home as a studio, she stages scenes like Untitled (Overcompensation), in which a mountain of wrapped gifts confronts consumer lust, and Untitled (Perfectionist), highlighting the unseen, frustrated occupant of a home office.

The highly suspect legend goes that, as a young child, Clarence P. Anderson realized he was the reincarnation of Jesse Garon Presley, Elvis' stillborn twin brother. Naturally, the new Jesse felt compelled to continue his brother's legacy by headlining a show palace in Branson, Missouri. Jesse Garon's act is less a lampoon of the heavily bejeweled, sweats-a-lot Elvis than it is a reinterpretation of the mystique — a vision of the King as a broken shell, working the Branson nostalgia circuit. This, of course, is more fun than any reverential tribute, and that's despite Garon's inability to remember his lyrics (cheat sheets are frequently referenced), at times putting him at odds with the Branson Family, which features members of CoCoComa, Tijuana Hercules, and Velcro Lewis.

Mahjongg w/ Golden Birthday and Chew on This
|
|
The exhilarating jams of hippie-funk and disco-punk purveyors Mahjongg betray their free spirits and wild-eyed creativity — as ringleader Hunter Husar puts it, "Being in Mahjongg is like having your head in a vice made out of banana peels." Indeed, this half-mad disposition has begotten some of the most unique, danceable sounds in Chicago and even caught the eye of indie vet Calvin Johnson, who signed the band to his influential label just last year. Tonight's show delivers a much-needed shot of life into the summertime concert wind-down, as the ensemble celebrates the completion of its debut album for K Records — a bedazzling mélange of '70s disco beats and funked-out Afrobeat polyrhythms.

When word first spread that Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira was planning a followup to the 1967 erotic classic Belle de Jour, the international film community let loose an apprehensive howl. But devotees of the sexually charged drama — which stars the lovely Catherine Deneuve as a frigid, bourgeois housewife who finds an outlet for her masochistic streak in a high-class brothel — can breathe a sigh of relief. Belle Toujours is a competent, if tame, homage to the original. The brief film follows Henri Husson (Michel Piccoli, returning to his original role), who, decades after discovering Séverine's life as a Parisian prostitute, tracks down the belle to reveal what he told her husband about the shameful secret before his death. (SN)
Note: Reduced admission to Belle de Jour is available when purchasing tickets to this screening.

Kumail Nanjiani is known around town as a rising standup comedian who riffs on He-Man, giant squid, and the plural form of the word "uterus." In Unpronounceable, his new one-man show commissioned by the Lakeshore Theater, Nanjiani gets considerably more personal, and it pays off handsomely. The act is part bildungsroman (his devout Muslim upbringing in Karachi, Pakistan), part fish-out-of-water tale (his college years in Iowa), part Cinderella story (his recent emergence as a buzz performer), and all engrossing. Nanjiani speaks softly but commands attention with his brainy candor and wry detachment. (BB)

Magnolia Electric Co. w/ Golden Boots
|
|
After more than a decade eking out indie folk as Songs: Ohia, Jason Molina gathered five other rascals to cut tried-and-true rootsy rock as Magnolia Electric Company. The band churns out rough-and-ready songs of weary love and redemption, set to suitably twangy electric and pedal-steel guitars. Molina's trademark nasal croon is buttressed by Scout Niblett's ethereal howl and Jennie Benford's country holler for a fuller sound. While the Neil Young comparisons have become rather shopworn, the resemblance is there — and you could do a whole lot worse for an excuse to be out on the weekend. (TW)

ECHELON is thought to be a worldwide government-run intelligence network — the big Big Brother. This group exhibition, on the other hand, is concerned with the unscrupulous, grainy, and creepy kind of digital spying available to governments and artists alike. Some use video directly, as in Patrick Lichty's "wristcam" prints of security sites at LaGuardia airport, as well as Gretel Garcia's brilliant, sculptural wall installation of small dome cameras arranged to spell "hope" in Braille. Others evoke the malevolent implications of a Patriot Act-era regime, including Annette Barbier and Drew Browning's floor-projected examination of library searches, and T.W. Li's documentary about an innocent man wrongly suspected of involvement in the 2005 London terrorist attacks. (AM)

For those who thought that the Pride Parade didn't rock hard enough, and that Lollapalooza and Pitchfork weren't gay enough, your prayers have been answered with Queer Fest Midwest, Chicago's first queer summer music festival. A three-way production between WLUW's Think Pink program, Chill magazine, and the curatorial duo of Gonia Rejnowska and Justin Polera, the fest showcases national and local acts on one stage — including 8" Betsy, Actor Slash Model, and electro rockers Ex-Members. In addition to the all-day rock action, an art exhibit and queer film screenings are held in an adjacent room, and the event's profits benefit About Face Theatre. (QH)

As the Ditty Bops, Amanda Barrett and Abby DeWald combine vaudevillian storytelling, cabaret, and folk for a surprisingly fresh live act. As activists, the two are known for embracing the DIY ethic almost to the point of suffocation, utilizing their talents to create comic books, design their own clothing, author recipe books, and start a nonprofit organization. Their ideals flow into their musical performances as well, most notably in their recent cross-country tour by bicycle with instruments in tow. (JL)

Pelican w/ Pinebender and Tirra Lirra
|
|
As witnessed by Pelican's recent offering, sometimes maintaining a relentless, international touring schedule can actually reap creative rewards, rather than instigate intra-band conflicts and artistic malaise. The band's lofty, instrumental compositions have always been swirling, labyrinthine affairs, but with City of Echoes, this sophisticated sound matures slightly, with delicate filigrees of melody wending their way through the band's heavier themes. Rather than simplifying the wizardly quartet's sound, these slightly more traditional song structures give shape to its sprawling opuses. Pelican return to their home turf for a month or so, before departing on yet another tour. (SN)

|
|
Since their formation in 1992, indie-folk-pop veterans Ida — anchored by husband-and-wife duo Daniel Littleton and Elizabeth Mitchell — have released a steady stream of glacial, whisper-soft folk compositions that oscillate between drifting lullabies and heart-wrenching breakup songs. Although the quartet's signature sound occasionally dissolves into melancholy-tinged nothingness, its penchant for eclectic covers of the Minutemen, Meat Puppets, and Prince keeps the live gigs rocking — relatively speaking, of course. At tonight's intimate, all-acoustic show, the slowcore minimalists preview tracks off their followup to 2005's lushly harmonized, Low-style Heart Like a River and, if we're lucky, their fun take on "Uptown."

In the '70s, National Lampoon magazine was the go-to source for comedy and satire, spawning a radio show, comedy records, and movies like Animal House (1978) and Vacation (1983). The brand's popularity faded in the '90s, but with a new filmic focus and online presence, it's poised to resume the knee-slapping. Hear how it all got started tonight, as author and Lampoon know-it-all Josh Karp heads a discussion about the former comedy institution, which was home to Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and John Belushi before the days of Saturday Night Live.

The summer drawing show may be a bit of an art-scene cliché, but there's nothing humdrum about Carberry's well-considered exhibition on the 25th floor of the Hancock, which showcases a fascinating mix of pre- and postwar trends in abstraction. Gallery artists and Chicago legends Jim Lutes (with his inimitable, undulating organic forms rendered in ink and tempera) and Ellen Lanyon (showing an enigmatic silhouette using the frottage method of graphite rubbing) are standouts, as is a study for a portrait of Andy Warhol by Alice Neel, rendered in her trademark expressionistic style.

La Clothesa Nostra: Style Mob |
 |
|
With social networks abounding for everyone from dog owners to swingers, it was only a matter of time before someone heard the fashionably plaintive cries of vintage-hounds and mix 'n match chameleons. Sasha Cagen, a woman who has spun her popular blogs into the books Quirkyalone and To-Do List, now presents StyleMob, a venue for the clothes-minded to share pictures of their own artfully assembled outfits for critique and approval by their peers. "Mobsters" build their style cred by uploading photos, winning votes for best outfit of the day, and dispensing advice for solving 11th-hour fashion emergencies. It's hard not to be inspired while clicking through endless photos of dapper folks in their Sunday (and Monday and Tuesday) best — organized by keyword and style — ranking them with a simple "Like It" or "Not 4 Me." It may feel a tad as though you're at an eighth-grade slumber party, but that's also part of the charm. (SD)

CD REVIEW: M.I.A., Kala |
|
|
Interscope
Released August 2007
$9.99 (Insound)
|
More than a dancehall diva or hybrid hip-hop hero, M.I.A. (aka Maya Arulpragasam) is an anthropologist — a savvy student of the urban/rural divide. On her over-the-moon debut, Arular, the loveably shrill singer/rapper/toaster refurbished the age-old summer anthem with worldly electronics and revolutionary rhetoric. Kala sees her critical eye growing ever more acute, as universalist tunes like the toast-heavy "Hussel" and world-gangsta hip-hopper "World Town" cleverly contextualize the trials of the disenfranchised, and the lazy speak-singing of "Bamboo Banga" paints a blurry image of internationalist elation. Anti-bling anthem "20 Dollar" uses bits of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind" and New Order's "Blue Monday" to toe the line between poverty and pop culture, while "Mango Pickle Down River" burrows deep into the bush — the din of didgeridoo propping up a freestyle with indigenous Australians. Buoyant bangers like "Boyz" and "Paper Planes," meanwhile, up the urbanites, breaking out the "Bucky Done Gun"-style hooks with a series of soon-to-be sing-alongs. (AP)

Representing the sonic side of our cultural coverage, Flavorpill Radio — hosted by our friends at Viva — features selections from the swath of music covered in our weekly city guides. The current edition features new tunes from scene stalwarts and up-and-comers alike, including artists like Para One, Uusitalo, Magik Markers, and Jens Lekman. Hardly a one-trick pony, Viva is brimming with other interesting shows, too: James Friedman's Refuse Radio highlights new dance music in all of its forms, while Tedward's Spring Break program features everything but the kitchen sink (including the theme song to NHL Hockey Night). NYC Flavorpiller Leah Taylor's the Pull-Out Method, on the other hand, maps the rise of unsigned rock acts, and Gerry Mak's Raise Your Horns to Asgarth pummels even the most adventurous with obscure and wildly off-kilter heavy-metal acts.
