Don't forget....Fugue State!!
According to Wikipedia, a "Fugue State" is something like amnesia, but it's not somehow, because...uh...oh blah blah, woof woof, the entry is written in doctor-ese, and I didn't get what they were talking about, so instead of sticking with it, I went into the other room for a root beer.
Anyway, it's kind of like amnesia. But not.
What it's also kind of like is a two-night music festival going down at the Empty Bottle (1035 N. Western) - starting TONIGHT (Friday)!! Yes, it put such a fog on my brain, I FORGOT to write about it until just now! Oh no...the FUGUE STATE!
Anyway, Fugue State the festival is spearheaded by local experimental music label Rebis Records, hosted graciously by The Empty Bottle, and billed as "a celebration of the drone in all its many manifestations, as interpreted by many of Chicago's finest musicians." It's seriously a killer lineup too - if your head is the type of head that gets all melty and shimmery in the presence of a great drone, be it generated by electronic device or rock and roll implement (i.e. guitar), you probably already know names like Haptic, Goldblood, DRMWPN (Dreamweapon), Number None, The Fortieth Day, and Estombello. Heck, you may even know names like Good Stuff House (OMG, Zelienople + the guy from Souled American!!!), Matt Clark, David Daniell, and The Zoo Wheel as well! I don't. But that's why I'm going...to find out.
Full info on the festival, including band bios, can be found at the Rebis Records Fugue State festival page. Shows start at 8 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday night. Admission for one night is $12, two nights is $20.
