Preview: James Murphy DJ Set at The Mid, 1/25
The last time James Murphy was in Chicago -- as far as I know -- he was at Montrose Beach, hanging out and getting ready to drop a highly anticipated DJ set on Wavefront Music Festival last Fourth of July weekend. The problem is that he never made it to the stage. An early afternoon thunderstorm tore through the city that Sunday and forced the first year festival to cancel several of its performances for time's sake. James Murphy's was one of those sets.
Now the former LCD Soundsystem frontman is coming back to town to spin at The Mid and rain nor, hopefully, snow can stop us from hearing him.
Since Murphy folded LCD Soundsystem in mid-2011, he's laid relatively low -- spending more time producing than songwriting. His side gig as a DJ seemed like the obvious choice considering the electronic dance influences that drove LCD Soundsystem.
This is Murphy's third appearance at the The Mid. Expect a similar house and soul-filled set.
Murphy will play The Mid on Friday, January 25. The Mid is a 21+ venue. Guaranteed express entry before 11:30pm is available for $25. The club opens at 10 pm.
