Issue 46: geek-chic flavor



At long, long last, the geeks appear to be inheriting the Earth. Bursting out of the high-school lockers they were once unceremoniously stuffed into, they are spreading out across the city in cabs, kitted out in badass, hand-knit sweaters, Aquaman Underoos, and pimped-out, high-top sneakers. Their mission: bring geek chic to the popular, more jockish masses. Their leader: an eclectic music junkie who goes by the moniker, "The Weird Al of Hip-Hop." It's time to geek out, true believer. Tape your glasses, hike up your pants, pack up your trading cards, and spread it!

 

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


 


In 1884, a German brewer named Wilhelm Hasse emigrated from his homeland and established the Modezuma brewery in Veracruz, Mexico. In 1897, Hasse blended his brewing heritage with the spirit of Mexican tradition to create Dos Equis. Carrying the distinctive "XX", Dos Equis symbolizes a celebration of the last century and its revolutionary vision, while honoring the new millennium.

links: Event Info | Drive Well, Sleep Carefully | Death Cab for Cutie

If you're one of those wackos who doesn't go for Lollapalooza-induced heatstroke with your Ben Gibbard fix, then this is the movie for you. Drive Well, Sleep Carefully, a documentary covering the on-the-road antics of cuddly indie-rock band Death Cab for Cutie during their 2004 tour, is a real-life portrait of the Seattle group coming to terms with their sudden success. Filmmaker Justin Mitchell intersperses band interviews with over a dozen live performances, all filmed in glorious 16mm. The result is an honest portrayal of backstage life and the enduring rock 'n roll dilemma of how to "make it" with scruples intact. On that front, Death Cab is reasonably successful: those expecting a Poison-like groupie scene will be sorely disappointed. (PS)

price: $10
links: Event Info | The 22-20s | Marjorie Fair

Kings of Leon and Jet, two of the bands the 22-20s opened for in 2003, only wish they had a track as solid as "Why Don't You Do It for Me," an aggressive, catchy, Southern blues-rock number from the English group's self-titled debut. Released by Astralwerks earlier this year, the album captures some of the unadulterated energy that the band displayed before audiences at Coachella, Glastonbury, and Reading — well before they'd even released their proper LP. At times, the 22-20s evoke the skuzzy racket of Jon Spencer, while on tracks like "Shoot Your Gun," they show the polished-pop influence of the brothers Gallagher. Dream-pop group Marjorie Fair open. (RS)

  In a (real or imaginary) relationship, give us one reason why someone just doesn't do it for you anymore. Our favorite response wins a pair of tickets to this event.



MUSIC: Experimental Jazz
Tales Out of Time feat. Peter Brötzmann, Kent Kessler, Michael Zerang, and Joe McPhee

when: Wed 8.3 (9:30pm)
where: The Empty Bottle (1035 N Western Ave, 773.276.3600) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Tales Out of Time | Peter Brötzmann | Michael Zerang | Joe McPhee

Bars that cater to free jazz with the dedication and determination of the Empty Bottle are few and far between. But even within that short list, the club seems to be a local musicians' favorite, which certainly explains the eclectic lineup of rare concert events and experimental, one-off bands. Take, for example, Tales Out of Time, a group composed of four Bottle regulars — bassist Kent Kessler, percussionist Michael Zerang, and legendary saxophonists Joe McPhee and Peter Brötzmann. If the quartet's release last year on the Hat Hut label is any indication, an organic, unhinged display of group interplay and melodic riffs is in store. (PS)

  What subject did Peter Brötzmann study at university before turning to music? The first and third correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.

MUSIC: Country Punk
The Knitters

when: Thur 8.4 (7:30pm)
where: Park West (322 W Armitage Ave, 773.929.5959) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | The Knitters

Don't let the name fool you — the Knitters aren't your grandmother's social club (unless, of course, Granny rolled with the Circle Jerks rather than the senior center's crochet circle). Supplanting the requisite tea and gossip with rockabilly swagger and punk energy, the Knitters have been around the block and back as the twanged-out alias of seminal LA punks X. Two decades after their one-off debut LP, which showcased countrified versions of X tunes, the band (John Doe, Exene, et al.) is now touring in support of their new album, The Modern Sounds of the Knitters. So forget the cable knit for now and be prepared to rock, because you might have to wait another 20 years to see them again. (LT)

  What's the name of the Chicago-founded social club that gets together for knitting and conversation? The fifth and eighth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.



DANCE
FiveStar Boogie Presents: Party Girl

when: Thur 8.4 (8pm)
where: HotHouse (31 E Balbo Ave, 312.362.9707) map
price: $12
links: Event Info | FiveStar Boogie

It's difficult to imagine keeping up with the FiveStar Boogie crew at a party. The hard-working dance collective has so many moves that mere mortals could never challenge them, let alone show the crew something they haven't seen before. Past shows and events have featured the group's mind-bending melding of B-girl stunts with Latin, house, and African dance steps. Party Girl continues in the tradition of past shows (including Hip-Hop Cinderella) by giving the talented girls a chance to show off their style, skill, and sexy moves. The show's brought to you by 5, Chicago's only magazine solely devoted to house music, so you know you'll be seeing all the right moves. (PS)



SPECTACLE
Wizard World Chicago 2005

when: Thur 8.4 - Sun 8.7 (schedule)

price: $50 three days / $25 one day

If you happen to wear a block of cheese on your head as a "Packer Backer," few would think twice of it; however, if you choose to slip into some fish-scaled Underoos to give big-ups to Aquaman, you can expect a beat-down. With this double standard in mind, we strongly discourage you and Aqua Lad from transporting yourselves via the CTA, and recommend donning your aqua apparel once you're safely inside Wizard World Chicago — at that time though, feel free to geek it out, true believer. Sin City creator Frank Miller and once-and-future Batman artist Jim Lee are the big-gun guests of honor at this year's convention of all things comic, sci-fi, and fantasy, but connoisseurs will be thrilled to see legends Gene Colan (Tomb of Dracula) and Walt Simonson (The Mighty Thor) making appearances among the new blood.

FILM
Saraband (2003)

when: Opens Fri 8.5
where: Music Box Theatre (3733 N Southport Ave, 773.871.6604) map
price: $9.25
links: Event Info | Saraband

Roughly one out of every ten Swedes turned on their TVs to watch legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman's return to storytelling, and — by Thor's hammer we swear — one million Swedes can't be wrong. Saraband is the auteur's made-for-TV sequel of sorts to 1973's Scenes from a Marriage, a devastating, slow-motion portrait of a disintegrating relationship. Saraband picks up 30 years after the characters' divorce at the end of Scenes, when the former couple Johann and Marianne attempt, dysfunctionally, to reconnect. It is supposedly the 87-year-old Bergman's final work, and a chance to view a master still very much in control of his craft as he performs a psychological post-mortem on expired love. (QH)

Sneaker collectors looking to satisfy their foot-fashion fetish will wear down the soles of their shoes hustling over to this event. The Sneaker Pimps opening-night party celebrates the Chicago arrival of the world's largest touring exhibition of customized kicks. Over 300 pairs have been coated, recreated, and rechristened by a who's-who of modern artists and designers, resulting in a room full of wearable objets d'art. Throw in a selection of rare pairs from brands like BAPE, Puma, and Ice Cream, and shoe enthusiasts will be walking on sunshine (whoa-oh!). (PS)



DJ
Kid606 w/ Drop the Lime, Knifehandchop, and Eats Tapes

when: Fri 8.5 (9pm)
where: Abbey Pub (3420 W Grace St, 773.478.4408) map
price: $14 / $12 advance
links: Event Info | Kid606 | Drop the Lime | Knifehandchop | Eats Tapes

A word of warning to those coming to feel the noize: Kid606 (aka Miguel Depedro), electronic music's raging-bull-in-a-blender, has built a prolific career on the schizophrenic glitch-core style of impatient beats and A.D.D. sampling — but now he's gone all introspective. His previous releases mined audio-thrash and mash-ups, an eardrum assault with a beat you could dance to; but with his new release, Resilience, Kid606 offers a breezy, easy-tempo respite that shuffles from track to track like the chill-out set for a dance floor in need of a breather. The Kid is no fool, though, so chances are he'll be dropping selections from Resilience into his set to serve that very purpose, bookending the calm with digital skronk for those with a nose for noise. Like-minded experimentalists Drop the Lime, Knifehandchop, and Eats Tapes open. (QH)

  Who played Jake LaMotta's kid wife in 1980's Raging Bull? The ninth correct response wins a pair of tickets to this event.

Event Info
 
The. Best. Breakdancing. Movie. Ever. Kelly, boyfriend-in-giant-pants Ozone, and the wacky Turbo must harness the dance powers of an army of children to save their beloved community center from (what else?) evil politicians. An undisputed masterpiece. (TG)

MUSIC: Power Mope
Brendan Benson w/ Robbers On High Street

when: Sat 8.6 (9pm)
where: Metro (3730 N Clark St, 773.549.0203) map
price: $16
links: Event Info | Brendan Benson | Robbers On High Street

Poor Brendan Benson — mishandled by the music industry, perennially under-the-radar, and, evidently, about as unlucky in love as a guy can be — it seems the honey-voiced, fuzzbox-squashing singer-songwriter's finally had it. Benson's new The Alternative to Love tones down the Daltrey-isms of his past, power-pop-rocking efforts by striking a considerably more resigned chord than his exuberant, Jason Falkner-svengali'd debut, One Mississippi. But what doesn't kill little Brendan only makes him stronger, and his live shows are as hook-happy as ever. Spoon-bending New York indie-rockers Robbers On High Street open. (TG)

  When it's not available (for whatever reason), what's the best alternative to love? Our favorite two responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.



MUSIC: Live Electronic
Niño Astronauta

when: Sat 8.6 (10pm)
where: HotHouse (31 E Balbo Ave, 312.362.9707) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Niño Astronauta

Fusing frenzied jazz with a bright, two-step kick, Baja, CA, live electronic group Niño Astronauta is the project of former Nortec Collective member Ignacio Chavez (programming, keyboards) with brothers Tati (bass) and Argel Cota (drums). Like much-heralded British electronic prodigy Squarepusher, Niño Astronauta finds its groove best onstage, meshing its sparse instrumentation into something kinky and kinetic. And tastemakers are starting to take notice — the illustrious John Tejada recently remixed their song "San Fernando Rd." Touring in support of their self-titled debut, the band's warm, flowing melodies provide a nice West Coast counterpoint to Germany's oppressively trendy, glitch-heavy beats. (PS)



MUSIC: Goofball Hip-Hop
MC Chris w/ Tha 446

when: Sat 8.6 (10pm)
where: Double Door (1572 N Milwaukee Ave, 773.489.3160) map
price: $12 / $10 advance
links: Event Info | MC Chris

Libertyville High School grad Chris Ward may have left for New York to work a day job as a writer for Adult Swim, but when he moonlights as Fourth Coast hip-hop expatriate MC Chris, his Midwest roots are undeniable. With a high-pitched nasal delivery, inane songs about Dairy Queen, and goofball production, the young MC comes off like the Weird Al of hip-hop. Chicago's Tha 446 further substantiate the emerging left-of-center Fourth Coast sound by perfectly embodying white indie rockers picking up mics, rather than guitars. (CT)

  2005 marks the 20th anniversary of what standard Dairy Queen summer treat? The fourth and seventh correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.

where: Old Town School of Folk Music (4544 N Lincoln Ave, 773.728.6000) map
price: $22
links: Event Info | Robbie Fulks | Bill Frisell | Danny Barnes

Robbie Fulks, Chicago's leading proponent of underground country music's expanding boundaries, hosts another installment of Secret Country, in which the notorious wiseacre interviews artists who share his omnivorous musical philosophy. Tonight, Fulks mixes discussions and performances from jazz-guitar megastar Bill Frisell, whose recent work incorporates elements of gospel and ultra-chill folk music; Danny Barnes, a banjoist/guitarist with a taste for off-the-wall electronic experimentation and bluegrass; and Greg Leisz, a pedal-steel virtuoso and little-acknowledged session giant (he's played with everyone from k.d. lang and Lucinda Williams to Beck and the Smashing Pumpkins). The biggest secret to be revealed: country music was, and still is, totally cool. (TG)



MUSIC: Multimedia
Alternate Currents: Art, By, For, and About Music feat. Rob Mazurek

price:
links: Event Info | Rob Mazurek

Multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Rob Mazurek returns to Chicago tonight to kick off the Empty Bottle's new monthly series, Alternate Currents, which features artists and musicians whose work straddles the divide between what's seen and what's heard. Mazurek's photographs and paintings are accompanied by live music specially composed for the evening. A founding member of the Chicago Underground with Tortoise guitarist Jeff Parker, Mazurek moved to Brazil early in the millennium to focus on the visual arts. Earlier this summer he took his new multimedia show to Europe, so he should be in peak form as he prepares for next week's free show at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. (SB)

price:
links: Event Info | File 13 | Fashion Flesh | TRS-80 | Poison Arrows | Odiorne

Nothing makes a music junkie happier than free shows full of great bands — industry lawyers and lawsuits be damned! It's refreshing when a small label like the eclectic local imprint File 13 recognizes this fact and gives fans a painless way to check out new tunes from solid groups, while downing cheap beer like it's going out of style. This fully-loaded free Monday at the Bottle features the orchestral pop group Odiorne, the stylistically inscrutable Poison Arrow (an Atombombpocketknife side project), experimentalist group Fashion Flesh, and a revamped and reworked TRS-80, a high-energy, homegrown electronic trio. (PS)

  Which member of Atombombpocketknife shares a name with a Latin American revolutionary? The first and sixth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

A Sense of Place: Emerging Chicago Sculpture

when: Now through Sat 8.20 (Saturdays: 12-5pm)
where: Lobby Gallery (731 N Sangamon St, 312.432.4327) map
price:
links: Event Info

The subtitle of the current Lobby Gallery exhibition, Emerging Chicago Sculpture, is a slight misnomer. True, the artists are of the interest-piquing, up-and-coming variety, but the works themselves are fascinating examples of sculptural entropy and liminality, some literally decomposing during the show's run, and all exhibited in a transitory, "non-space" — an office building's lobby. Benjamin Chickadel's drooping, sagging paper cutouts hang lightly from the wall, swaying in the slightest breeze, while Noelle Allen's cotton-candy work, Husk, slowly unmakes itself, turning into gloppy piles of spent sugar. Mike Andrew's Culled, a glorious mishmash of twigs, silk flowers, plastic beads, and latex paint, however, provides the connecting conceptual thread: "My process is a regurgitation of drawing-cum-object-cum-spatial painting." (AF)



ART
John Wanzel: Daylight

when: Now through Sat 8.27 (Saturdays: 12-6pm)
where: BSD (1319 W Lake St, 312.421.1917) map
price:
links: Event Info

In his solo show, John Wanzel presents a diaristic account of walking the Chicago streets while watching lampposts in the sky. In sculpture, sound, video, and drawn works, Wanzel reveals a loving obsession with astronomy, Copernicus, and trigonometric ratios. Droopy mounted models of lampposts and sidewalks line the walls; drawings on paper narrate advanced lessons, with one explaining the equation of time; reel-to-reel tracks play softly in the front room while a lecture read by Wanzel ("Lecture on the Potential Energy of the Summer") plays in the backroom, accompanied by a tuba. This attractive show succeeds in combining different media to stimulate science crushes. (EH)



FILM
Black Harvest International Festival of Film and Video

when: Thur 8.4 - Wed 8.31 (schedule)
where: Gene Siskel Film Center (164 N State St, 312.846.2600) map
price: $9

With a selection of feature-length and short films as well as a preview of John Singleton's newest feature, Four Brothers, this year's Black Harvest Festival promises to be the best in years, offering a broad range of movies with subjects ranging from Haitian immigration to rap stardom, all produced by African-American filmmakers. In addition to a stellar selection of films and videos, the festival offers compelling panels featuring topics such as "Hip-Hop and Technology" and "How to Get a Movie Made." (KS)

Toulouse-Lautrec and Montmartre

when: Now through Mon 10.10 (Sat-Wed: 10am-5pm / Thur: 10:30am-8pm / Fri: 10:30am-5pm)

price: $15-18
links: Event Info | Toulouse-Lautrec

This celebration of turn-of-the-century Parisian red-light culture centers on Toulouse-Lautrec, examining the artist's role and demonstrating his drawing skills nonpareil. Divided into six themed sections, the exhibit begins by contextualizing the artist as a Montmartre community member and leads the viewer through depictions of cabarets, absinthe intoxication, and brothel lifestyles. Acclaimed lithographs and paintings are complemented by works by the artist's contemporaries including Van Gogh, Picasso, and Manet, with an astonishing silent film starring dancer and artists' model Loie Fuller.

  A WHEEL FOR EACH X CHROMOSOME: Cycling Sisters  

United by their love of two-wheelers and marked by a majority of double-x-chromosomed members (y-chromosomed members are welcome, too — if they can keep up), this group of Chicago urban-biking enthusiasts are derailing it for themselves. Grassroots organization Cycling Sisters encourages women to hike up their skirts and navigate the city via Schwinns instead of stilettos. Started in 2001, the Sisters offer classes and workshops on bike repair, hold monthly social rides, and post witty, helpful articles on their website, whose topics include how to shop for groceries on a bike, build a "transvelopede" for toting children around, and stay stylish while pedal-pushing. Their active message board, however, is the true repository of the Sisters' biking wisdom, with members eagerly sharing road-weathered tips from proper locking techniques to surviving oncoming lakefront roller bladers. It's like an all-grrrl critical mass — one that promotes (bike-related) gender equality while simultaneously doing its part to eliminate gridlock. (AF)



 


  DVD REVIEW: The Nomi Song  

Palm Pictures
Released June 2005
$15.98 (Amazon)

Of the many talented artists to flood downtown NYC in the '70s, there was no more unique or transcendent figure than Berlin émigré Klaus Nomi. Equally inspired by Maria Callas and Elvis Presley, Nomi's flawless, crystalline falsetto could pierce even the most jaded poseur's heart. By out-spacing Bowie in his creation of an authentic alien persona, Nomi burst out as a new-wave legend and passed on as one of the first recognizable artists to die of AIDS. Director Andrew Horn's film smartly balances insider interviews with live performance footage, revealing the truly operatic tale of a strange, sweet, and lonely man whose confluent pop-opera passions and sophisticated stage intensity placed him in a category all his own. A soundtrack, photo gallery, director commentary, and uncut Nomi performances are among the DVD extras. (JCJ)

Andrew Horn traveled to Berlin in 1989 to study with what fellowship? The second correct response wins a Nomi Song DVD.



 


  STREAMS: DIRTY  

Mining the web for the dirty diamonds of digital culture, the Paris-based Dirty collective once again serves up some of the best content around, ranging from videos and interviews to oddball links (home videos from Slayer on tour, anyone?). This week, check a photo montage of All Tomorrow's Parties in Camber Sands, England (curated by Vincent Gallo) as well as an, um, shall we say "out-there" video from Ariel Pink. Finally, for the headphones, check Ammon Contact with the experimental breaks, a videotaped Out Hud performance at NYC's Pianos, and Trevor Jackson's cut-and-paste megamix — a perfect soundtrack for Last Night's Party.
