The (Weird) Kids Are Alright

It seems like spring is taking its sweet time to warm up, right? Head to the Weird Kids Night dance party at the Darkroom to dance in the summer with their teensploitation summer beach party!

What the hell do we mean by "Weird Kids," you ask? Well, toss together top-notch local DJs from the Hump Day Mobile Unit spinning dance-worthy beats along with oddball kids music (think the Chipmunks, funky Sesame Street, and Miss Piggy's awesome 80s-era Jazzercise album) and live performers such as Jason
Trachtenberg of the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players, Brooklyn-based saw-and-piano duo Ching Chong Song, The Cathedrals, and Perfect Masters. Oh, mix in drink specials and you got yourself a sweet little fake, one-night vacation getaway.

The weirdness kicks in on Monday, May 26, and is 21+.

Chicago label Shape Shoppe has been helping musicians as a recording studio, rehersal space, occasional home, and, for a short time, a venue. The label has become a favorite for local acts such as Bronze, Bird Names and Icy Demons, as well as for national bands like Philadelphia's Man Man. It's a special place, loved by its devotees, trying to make Chicago's music scene stronger every day.
