tomorrow is WELCOME TO THE VOID: CHICAGO PSYCH FEST 2 @ the hideout..... Mondo Drag headlines and I can't wait to see their psyched out romp tomorrow.....
here's what the chicago reader has to say " It's easy to want to root for a thick and nasty psychedelic rock band coming out of somewhere like Davenport, Iowa, just because it seems so improbable. But MONDO DRAG have a lot more to offer than an underdog backstory—they've got a tendency to sound like they're streaming live via satellite from the DayGlo cosmic spacescape of a Dr. Strange black-light poster. Last year's New Rituals (Alive) is a pileup of tricks and techniques pilfered from the halls of psych-rock history: the quintet has Blue Cheer's sonic heft, Hawkwind's disregard for radio-friendly running times, the Stooges' way of exploding a three-chord garage stomp into a howling lysergic freak-out, and Spacemen 3's ability to push guitar tones right up to the edge of pure noise. The fact that it sounds like the whole mess is held together by nothing but hair grease and pot resin is one of the things I like most about it......"
TOMORROW NIGHT'S SHOW, first of two nights of Psych Fest is filled out with Catacombz, the Great Society Mind Destroyers, Plastic Crimewave Sound, Dead Luke, and El Is a Sound of Joy. 8 PM, yes at the Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia, 773-227-4433 or 877-435-9849, $10, $15 two-day festival pass.
