Issue 42: party-hardy flavor

Chicago antisocialites aren't the only ones crunking it up and then throwing it down — there's a full-throttle, city-wide exotic luau going on that won't set you back too much ch'ching. On the one hand, booty-bumpin' Mexican wrestlers, and on the second hand, castanet-shaking ninjas are winking at you to join them. Sure, the next morning there will embarrassing tales of things you say you'll never do again, but right now, make room on the dance floor, take your chances in our new Flavorpack Contest, and spread it!

 

flavorpill is an email magazine covering a hand-picked selection of music, art, and cultural events — delivered each Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


MUSIC: Alt-Country
John Doe w/ the Nick Luca Trio

when: Tue 7.5 (7:30pm)
where: Abbey Pub (3420 W Grace St, 773.478.4408) map
price: $12
links: Event Info | John Doe | Nick Luca Trio

Country music has always had a powerful sway over punk rock — perhaps owing to the genre's similar working-class roots — so it's understandable that when John Doe, former frontman of seminal LA punk band X, began his solo career, he wandered down that old alt-country road. On his 2005 release, Forever Hasn't Happened Yet, Doe expands his vocal chops alongside the likes of Neko Case, Grant Lee Phillips, and Kristin Hersh — not to mention his wife and X bandmate, Exene Cervenka. Frequent Giant Sand and Calexico collaborators the Nick Luca Trio open. (SB)



DJ
Derrick Carter w/ Matty "the Narcoleptic"

when: Tue 7.5 (9pm)
where: Celebrity (1856 W North Ave, 773.365.0091) map
price:
links: Event Info | Derrick Carter | Matty

It's always a pleasure to see Chicago talent come into its own. Case in point: Mr. Derrick Carter, the self-proclaimed "Crunk Master," who DJs tonight at this quickly burgeoning Tuesday event at the newly minted Celebrity. The evening's mastermind is Untitled's Matty (aka "the Narcoleptic"), who continually brings house music's best and brightest talents to this intimate spot. The music draws an eclectic crowd hoping to lounge and catch a premium view of the DJ booth, so don't be surprised to find a line at the door as the night progresses. It's no wonder the flier/invitation says, in bold lettering, "Shh... You are invited but don't tell anyone." (VG)

DANCE
African-Brazilian Night feat. Minianka and Gingarte Capoeira

when: Wed 7.6 (8:30-10:30pm)
where: AfroFolk, Old Town School of Folk Music (4544 N Lincoln Ave, 773.728.6000) map
price: $5 suggested donation
links: Event Info

Forget the multi-culti mush and the kiss-of-death "world music" tag — these groups can straight-on dance the pants off anybody, internationally bred or otherwise. Minianka Afrikan Drum and Dance Ensemble throw down a defiant set (the group's name means "those who refused the master"), blending the traditions and rhythms of Mali and the Caribbean. Gingarte Capoeira, based at the University of Chicago, performs capoeira, the increasingly popular Brazilian dance and martial art; and as if that weren't badass enough, the group also shows off samba and maculele, a dance style involving machetes and sticks. Don't even approach the floor — just watch in awe. (PS)



Thursday TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


MUSIC: Power Pop, Eh?
Sloan

when: Thur 7.7 (10pm)
where: Double Door (1572 N Milwaukee Ave, 773.489.3160) map
price: $18
links: Event Info | Sloan

O, Canada! Your cup overfloweth with dusty Neil Young LPs, Alanis CD singles, and leaked Wolf Parade mp3s — what hast thou wrought upon America's pop landscape? Well, for starters, you've birthed tons of great bands, including Sloan — elemental Canadian power pop quartet par excellence, all melody, guitars, and cheeky wordplay. Consistently overlooked in America despite gargantuan success in its motherland, the band recently released a best-of compilation, A-Sides Win, which giddily epitomizes that alternate-universe radio station the power-pop nerds always talk about — in which Sloan would occupy every slot in the Top 40. (TG)



RELEASE
HBO's Six Feet Under: Everything Ends Soundtrack Listening Party

when: Thur 7.7 (11pm-2am)
where: Darkroom (2210 W Chicago Ave, 773.276.1411) map
price:
links: Event Info | Six Feet Under: Everything Ends

The blood-red glow of the Darkroom is an apt setting for a record release/listening party for Six Feet Under: Everything Ends, the second volume of soundtrack music from the macabre HBO series. Television soundtracks are usually disposable — bland aural fillers, intended for inch-deep emotional reactions — but SFU, like Twin Peaks before it, smartly puts its soundtrack to work, helping to build stories and elucidate obtuse relationships. Everything Ends includes some standard drama-rock fare (Radiohead, Coldplay, Death Cab), but buried within are exclusive cuts from Jem, Interpol, Caesars, and the Arcade Fire, which will help ease our sorrow as the show goes to its own grave at season's end. (AF)



Friday TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


MUSIC: Grime Grrrl
Lady Sovereign

when: Fri 7.8 (10pm)
where: Sonotheque (1444 W Chicago Ave, 312.226.7600) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Lady Sovereign

The pint-sized 18-year-old British rapper Lady Sovereign has more spunk than Winona Ryder in Heathers — post-explosion. A phenom from the same scene that birthed crooked-grinned grime poster boy Dizzee Rascal, Sovereign has a devilish flow and a dirty mouth, dispensing trash-talk and non sequiturs with equal abandon. She made a splash Stateside with her silly, squelching song "Ch'Ching," which appeared earlier this year on Vice's influential Run the Road grime compilation, but this is her first appearance in the United States — and her full-throttle set should get a considerable number of backsides bouncing. (PS)

  Who is your favorite reigning female (i.e. Queen Elizabeth, Hillary Rodham Clinton, etc.)? Our two favorite responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.



MUSIC: Medium-Sized Rap
Royce Da 5'9" w/ Casual, Illogic, Psalm One, and Modill

when: Fri 7.8 (10pm)
where: Abbey Pub (3420 W Grace St, 773.478.4408) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | Royce Da 5'9" | Casual | Psalm One | Modill

Detroit rapper Royce Da 5'9" gained some notoriety a few years back collaborating with a then-unknown MC named Marshall Mathers. After spending time battle-rapping with Mr. Great White Hope and his D12 crew à la 8 Mile, he wrote a few rhymes for Dre's The Chronic 2001. Cut to 2005, and, following a slew of tracks dogging his former mentors and their sell-out ways, Royce is back with a new album called Independent's Day, on which he loudly proclaims the strength of his forceful flow, backed by thugged-out beats on oh-so-subtle tracks like "F*ck My Brains Out." The rest of this widely varied live hip-hop bill includes Hieroglyphics rapper Casual, female Chicago MC Psalm One, and the spacey, geeked-out, Mos Def-inspired duo Modill. (RS)

  How many millimeters (to the nearest millimeter) are there in five feet, nine inches? The second correct response wins a pair of tickets to this event.



DJ: Face-Off
Ovum vs Ninja Tune feat. Josh Wink and Bonobo

when: Fri 7.8 (10pm)
where: SmartBar (3730 N Clark St, 773.549.0203) map
price: $15 / $10 before midnight
links: Event Info | Ovum | Ninja Tune | Bonobo

Like any good DJ set, tonight's showcase of two wildly influential dance labels blends a bit of the old and a bit of the new. Representing Ovum, Philadelphia's Josh Wink was a mid-'90s legend, a high-profile house DJ and producer with an equally high-profile hairstyle (long, blond dreadlocks). Still, Wink's far from a relic — his recent Profound Sounds album series made quite a dent. In the other corner is Bonobo, purveyor of ambient, inspired chill-out tracks for Ninja Tune that go beyond the usual sample-happy, trip-hop style. Despite the night's "versus" moniker, the only real fight inside SmartBar should be for floor space. (PS)

MUSIC: Global Soundz
The Eighth Annual Chicago Folk & Roots Festival

when: Sat 7.9 & Sun 7.10 (12-9:30pm)
where: Welles Park (Lincoln Ave and Montrose Ave, 773.728.6000) map
price: $5 donation
links: Event Info | Welles Park

The Old Town School of Folk Music's wide-ranging folk and roots festival (including dance, from belly and burlesque to Cajun and square) offers music home-spun and far-flung at every turn. Highlights: On Saturday, Chicago soul man Otis Clay warms up the house before genre-free Texan Alejandro Escovedo takes over. On Sunday, Saharan nomads Tinariwen, whose raw and electric bluesy sound recalls Chicago blues when it got switched on in the late '40s, transfix the crowd before LA's exuberant polyglot ensemble Ozomatli mix Latin funk, hip-hop, rock, and soul into infectious tunes, that push audiences to their bug-out limit. (PDS)



RELEASE: Lit Mag
THE2NDHAND #17 Release Party feat. Joe Meno, Jonathan Messinger, C.T. Ballentine, and Jeb Gleason-Allured

when: Sat 7.9 (7:30pm)
where: Quimby's (1854 W North Ave, 773.342.0910) map
price:
links: Event Info | THE2NDHAND

THE2NDHAND magazine, Chicago's best source for underground writing, is about to switch gears from an anthology format to one focusing on a single author's story per issue. However, before the 11 x 17 in. broadsheet is redesigned, morphing into a brand new literary butterfly, a handful of authors will read their work from the current installment. Tonight's readers include the staggeringly ubiquitous Joe Meno, author of the punk-rock coming-of-age tale Hairstyles of the Damned, along with C.T. Ballentine, Jeb Gleason-Allured, and Jonathan Messinger. THE2NDHAND editor and founder Todd Dills plays host. (QH)



MUSIC: Afrobeat
Femi Kuti

when: Sat 7.9 (9pm)
where: Metro (3730 N Clark St, 773.549.0203) map
price: $26 / $23 advance
links: Event Info | Femi Kuti

Whereas most children of famous folks can only hope to match the legacy of their parents, Femi Kuti has managed to both create a more accessible version of his father's music and carve out a new space of his own. The son of Nigerian Afrobeat superstar Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Femi began his career playing in his father's political band, Egypt 80, and eventually started his own group, Positive Force, in 1986. After Fela's death from AIDS in 1997, the major labels stepped in to take advantage of the deluge of Kuti press, leading to the younger Kuti's 1999 MCA release, Shoki Shoki, and the lauded Fight to Win (featuring hip-hop icons Common and Mos Def) in 2001. Since then, Femi has continued to spread his philosophy worldwide, establishing himself as the newest Afrobeat legend. (KS)



MUSIC: Post-Rock
Dianogah w/ Archaeology and Nonagon

when: Sat 7.9 (10pm)
where: The Empty Bottle (1035 N Western Ave, 773.276.3600) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | Dianogah | Archaeology | Nonagon

Chicago indie-rock mainstays Dianogah have played alongside everyone from Lou Barlow and his Sebadoh posse to Archer Prewitt and Man or Astroman? — but if you're looking for comparisons, the influence of local post-rock champs Tortoise is undeniable. Boasting a spartan lineup of two bassists (Jason Harvey and graphic-design icon Jay Ryan) and a drummer (Kip McCabe), the group offers up tightly balanced, spiraling instrumentals and endlessly hypnotic rhythms. After recording with Steve Albini for their sprightly 2000 album Battle Champions, the group gave a nod to their Chicago ties, pairing up with Tortoise and Sea and Cake member John McEntire to record 2002's Millions of Brazilians. Ambient acolytes Archaeology and local punk trio Nonagon open. (RS)

FILM
Nina Simone, Love Sorceress (1998)

when: Sun 7.10 (5:45pm)
where: Gene Siskel Film Center (164 N State St, 312.846.2600) map
price: $9
links: Event Info | Nina Simone

If a genius is defined as someone who invents his or her own profession, then there's hardly a better example than Nina Simone. In equal measure diva, mystic, activist, and martyr, her body of work invigorated jazz standards, teased with pop confections, and most of all, reflected the ugliness of America's racist underbelly through the singer's own searing anthems of the civil rights movement. This film of a 1976 Paris show provides a rare glimpse of the indefinable Simone, who was too smart, too curious, too angry, and too strong to ever achieve the sort of maudlin success indicated by inclusion in coffee-shop compilation CDs. (CF)

  Where did Simone study classical piano in her youth? The fifth and sixth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.



MUSIC: Freaky Folk
Castanets w/ I Heart Lung and Wooden Wand & the Vanishing Voice

when: Sun 7.10 (9:30pm)
where: The Empty Bottle (1035 N Western Ave, 773.276.3600) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | Castanets | I Heart Lung | Wooden Wand & the Vanishing Voice

Castanets frontman Raymond Raposa has "prodigy" written all over him. The goth-country hippie Doogie Howser-ed his way out of high school only to skip med school and head straight for the open road. For the next four years, Raposa left the driving to Greyhound as he traveled around the country, cobbling together what would later become his first album, What Kind of Cure — released only to friends on CD-R (although Sufjan Stevens' Asthmatic Kitty label is set to reissue the album later this year). 2004's haunting follow-up, Cathedral, only confirmed Raposa's precociousness. Tonight, he performs with the rest of the Castanets, comprising members of Pinback, Rocket from the Crypt, and Tristeza. (SB)

Note: I Heart Lung kick the evening off on a pleasingly weird note, followed by avant-folk veterans Wooden Wand & the Vanishing Voice.

  Tell us your most creative idea for the use of castanets (the finger-percussion instruments, or the band). Our two favorite responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.

I Was Really Very Hungry: A Portrait of M.F.K. Fisher

when: Mon 7.11 (6:30pm)
where: Chicago Cultural Center, Claudia Cassidy Theater (78 E Randolph St, 312.744.9350) map
price: $30 (reservations required)
links: Event Info | M.F.K. Fisher

One of the great culinary writers of the last century, Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher was first exposed to great food as a student in Dijon, France. When she returned to the United States during the Great Depression, the economical eating habits she acquired as a student in Europe left her able to quickly acclimate, and she eventually published her first work, Serve It Forth, in 1937. Live Bait Theater's staged reading paints a mouth-watering portrait of the author while chefs Linda Rosner and Jenny Lewis (settle down, indie kids — different Jenny Lewis) simultaneously prepare a tasting menu inspired by the performance.

Exotica: Luau by the Lake 2005

when: Wed 7.6 - Sun 7.10 (schedule)
where: Various locations
price: Various
links: Event Info

Just in time for the steamy summer, a tropical breeze is blowing through Chicago. The Luau by the Lake festival plants tiki torches all over the city this weekend, bringing cocktails, chill music, and a celebration of island life. Venues all over the city get in on the action: FitzGerald's, Delilah's, and Trader Todd's feature performances from the likes of comedian King Kukelele, dance group the Barefoot Hawaiian, lounge act the Penthouse Playboys, surf band the Madiera, and instrumental, Mexican wrestling mask-clad rockers Los Straitjackets, supported by the perky dancing of the World Famous Pontani Sisters. It's everything Hawaiian you could ask for, except a few surf-worthy waves. (PS)



ART
Things We Said We'd Never Do Again

where: Western Exhibitions (1648 W Kinzie St, Suite 2, 312.307.4685) map
price:
links: Event Info

July signals the return of the ubiquitous summer group show, a predictably humdrum affair in which dealers, logy from a year of art fairs and the hard sell, reach into their back rooms and pull out a motley assortment like so many leftovers from the fridge — and then go on vacation. What a pleasant tonic, then, to see an energetic exhibition like Things We Said We'd Never Do Again, which features over 35 artists, pairing recognizable scenesters such as Amanda Ross-Ho and John Neff with never-before-seen-in-Chicago works by Dale Malner and Jason Lee. Ranging widely in medium and style (cast rubber duckies, anyone?), it's the perfect respite from brain-draining Ozone Action Days. (AF)



THEATRE
Book of Days

when: Now through Sat 7.23 (Thur-Sat: 8pm)
where: Steep Theatre (1902 N Sheridan Rd, 312.458.0722) map
price: $15
links: Event Info

Growing up in rural Missouri, Lanford Wilson witnessed small-town life firsthand, and the hypnotic Book of Days sees the Pulitzer-prize winning playwright finally returning to his roots. Sticking close to his patented mash-up style, in which monologues, conversations, and direct addresses to the audience intertwine, Book of Days features Steep Theatre's large ensemble gathered onstage for the entire play. When the wealthy cheese-manufacturing patriarch of Dublin, MO is murdered, the community slowly begins to collapse under the weight of red-state politics, xenophobia, and fundamentalist half-truths. Think Thornton Wilder-meets-Tennessee Williams-meets the bastard child of Michael Moore and Anne Coulter, with a sprinkling of Waiting for Guffman. (SB)



ART
Art from the Inside: Paño Drawings by Chicano Prisoners

when: Now through Sat 9.3 (Wed-Sat: 12-5pm)
where: Intuit (756 N Milwaukee Ave, 312.243.9088) map
price:
links: Event Info

Intuit's current exhibition collects Chicano prisoners' poignant ink and colored-pencil drawings made on cotton handkerchiefs, called paños. Curators Martha Henry and Peter David Joralemon sensibly organized the pieces into groups that emphasize recurring themes and images: the untrained, naïve artists reflect upon life in prison, their longing for family and lovers, drug use, and religion. The similarities among the drawings is uncanny, reflecting the uniformity of the paño aesthetic — an insular world where cartoon characters, the human body, and the Virgin Mary collide. (EH)

  WEB GALLERY: Gallery1F's AtoD  

Gallery1F's move from a DIY brick-and-mortar gallery in Chicago's East Ukranian Village to a bits-and-bytes online web gallery has inspired its co-founders, Jake Elliott and flavorpill contributor Ezara Hoffman, to curate an inaugural exhibition called AtoD. Engaging the idea of the transition from "offline-to-online, signal-to-sample, continuous-to-discrete, analog-to-digital," each of the video, sound, artware, and photo works here — by international new media artists Josh Azzarella, Bryce Beverlin II, Antonia D'Orazio, Elena Jovanova, judsoN, and Mez — are framed in an old-tyme Mac Paint user interface. It's all accessible through Mon 8.1, and, unlike the former real-world gallery, which doubled as an apartment, viewers can access the art 24/7 without worrying about waking the owners. The next exhibition, Format Fetish, goes live Fri 9.1. (AF)



 


  CD REVIEW: Jamie Lidell, Multiply  

Warp
Released June 2005
$13.99 (Amazon)

If not for its subtle, tech-y undertones and Jamie Lidell's decidedly Caucasian face on the cover, you could be forgiven for assuming Multiply is a lost compilation mining Otis, Marvin, and Stevie. A far cry from Lidell's techno-crooner work with Cristian Vogel as Super_Collider and the psychotic avant-garde collage of his 2000 solo debut, Multiply's stirring soul maintains the vintage warmth of its predecessors while emphasizing Lidell's shockingly authentic, virtuosic vocals and deft melodicism. Rhythms are intricately nuanced and, despite occasional studio trickery — such as the DJ Screw-style effects on "A Little Bit More" — the tastefully uncluttered production here perfectly complements the advanced tunesmithing. Not just a glowing tribute to American soul and R&B, Multiply is an earnest move into the future: one hand on a Hammond, the other on a laptop. (JCF)

Which two instruments did Lidell first learn to play back in the day? The eighth correct answer wins a copy of this CD.
