The Mid Welcomes Skrillex, Tommy Lee and DJ Aero
As a part of its Friday night series "Mayhem at the Mid," Chicago's newest venue, The Mid, is welcoming a familiar name. Tommy Lee's (yes, that Tommy Lee) latest venture into the electronica/club scene Electro Mayhem will be spinning The Mid on Feb. 11. Lee and his turntable partner DJ Aero have been sharing the stage since their days together in Lee's rap-rock side project Methods of Mayhem, but began touring together as Electro Mayhem in 2007.
Joining Lee and Aero will be Sonny Moore, better known as Skrillex. Moore last visited Chicago in October as a last minute add on to the sold out Deadmau5 show at Congress Theater. Now he's back celebrating his recently released EP Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, a record that earned Skrillex a top ten spot on Beatport charts and a #1 position on iTunes dance chart.
"Mayhem at the Mid" featuring Electro Mayhem and Skrillex starts at 10pm on Friday, Feb. 11. Chicago's own Alex Zelenka will play the opening set. Tickets are $18. The Mid is located at 306 N. Halsted and is 21+. For further "Mayhem at the Mid" concert listings, visit the venue's website.
