Two days with an evil heart on your sleeve
Pick up your average, non-comprehensive "names for babies" book, and it's unlikely you'll come upon one of the more sinister-sounding names available to you -- "Matchitehew." It's an Algonquin name meaning "He has an evil heart." Hell of a way to bring a new child into the world, eh?
The name does, it seems, evoke just the right tone as the name of an upcoming two-day festival in Chicago. Matchitehew Assembly, taking place on June 5 and 6 at the Co-Prosperity Sphere, wears its evil heart on its sleeve by offering 21 bands and performers, joined by a shared love of funereal doom. Projects from the genres of black metal, drone, power electronics, and harsh noise will blanket the city just as heat and sunlight begin to attempt their timid return.
Tickets are $25 per day, $40 for both day, all ages. All info, including times and directions, can be found at the festival's website.
