Maniacs on the prowl in Wicker Park
More madness at Enemy (1550 N. Milwaukee, 3rd Floor) this Saturday, as three totally parabolic nightmare-walkers stalk your sleeping hours with fogs of dissonance and hilarity.
Blood Waterfall, according to their Myspace page, sound like "Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, and Zach Hill watching commercials," and invoke the Luttenbachers, Braxton, Brotzmann and Melt-Banana in their "influences" section. Believe it or not, that actually pretty much nails it.
Sexual Freedom, formerly known as Gays in the Military, burst free from their shackles once again to thug up the ears and pass around some of the generous helpings of kinky theatricality that has left Wicker Park in awe since the halcyon days of the Big Horse. Swoon....
Squid Fist are from Minneapolis, and seem to live in a Black Metal cave while foraging in noise trashcans for tender morsels. Thrashing and clattering, squirming and squeaking, a 2001-esque new-rebirth-style space baby is being born on this very stage for you.
Jason Soliday (Enemy's host and resident) and Anthony Decanini will open. I've heard Soliday many times, but not with Mr. Decanini, so this promises to be a new and different direction. Try it, you'll like it! 8 p.m. sharp, $5.
