  23-08-2024 22:46 via chicagoreader.com
  
  On Thursday evening, protesters coalesced at Union Park just hours before Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination. Several hundred police officers and vehicles loomed at the park’s edges; unwariness and discontent hung in the air.

  23-08-2024 20:48 via chicagoreader.com
  
  Delegates from the uncommitted movement began a sit-in on the third day of the Democratic National Convention, demanding the party allow a Palestinian speaker to address the crowd.

• Ananda Lima writes for the Devil

  23-08-2024 16:51 via chicagoreader.com
  
  Writers think a lot about how, and why, they write. Inevitably, the question of, “Who am I writing for?” needs answering. Some settle on writing for themselves. Some, a direct appeal to the market. Others decide to write for their muse: a spouse, a child, a distant relative. Chicago author Ananda Lima writes for the […]

• Capturing life on the CTA

  23-08-2024 03:10 via chicagoreader.com
  
  Critic Jerry Saltz was perhaps the first to articulate a dichotomy in figurative painting between the cool, clean portraiture of Alex Katz and Alice Neel’s clumsily rendered goofballs. If there’s an equator between these poles, it’s the oeuvre of Peter Broitman, who indulges himself in Katz’s stylistic bravura without tempering his Neel-esque psychic insights. It’s […]

• It’s Lynn’s Chicago Pizza by the slice at the next Monday Night Foodball

  23-08-2024 00:06 via chicagoreader.com
  
  When they started dating, one of the first things Brandon Bruner Sr. and Aja Lynn Humphreys agreed on was Giordano’s deep dish. They both liked it. And they both believed it was not perfect—too heavy, and Bruner in particular was not a fan of the cornmeal crust. So one night—a stay-at-home date night—Bruner, a longtime […]

• March on the DNC

  22-08-2024 20:25 via chicagoreader.com
  
  The Union Park gathering of protesters on the 2024 Democratic National Convention’s inaugural day commenced with just as much pomp and circumstance as the historic convention itself.  Members of leftist organizations such as Code Pink, the Movement for Black Lives, the Anti-War Committee, and the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) traveled from Cleveland, Ohio; St. […]

  The second day of the Democratic National Convention came and went with plenty of action—both inside and outside the United Center. The night’s festivities included an address from Governor J.B. Pritzker, who stressed the dangers of what a Trump presidency could bring to the crowd of thousands. Michelle and Barack Obama also took the stage […]

  The Paris Olympics may have had the pomp and circumstance, but for Chicago punk fans, this show headlined by the mighty Rixe is the most satisfying French cultural exchange of the summer. This trio, whose name translates to “brawl,” includes members of Maraboots and Youth Avoiders, and they emerged out of Paris’s musical underground about […]

  Chicago-based musician Danny Biggins founded art-pop project Zombie Mañana in 2013, blending elements of neo-psych and indie rock with electronic beats and R&B flourishes. The February single “Thousands of Days,” which Biggins describes on Instagram as a love song to Mother Earth, juxtaposes spacey atmospheres with a joyfully beachy rhythm, delves into creamy, psychedelic melodies […]

• Chicago label Pravda Records celebrates four decades of eclectic music

  A city can have tons of great musicians, but to develop a healthy scene that can flourish for decades, it also needs a strong support system for them. Chicago’s underrated strength lies in its network of musician-adjacent infrastructure—indie labels, venues, studios, retailers, rehearsal spaces, podcasts, indie press, zines, community and college radio stations—and a local […]

• Abstract guitarist Loren Connors plays a rare Chicago show to open an art exhibit he shares with John Fahey

  21-08-2024 23:24 via chicagoreader.com
  
  Loren Connors’s records don’t all sound alike, but they all sound exactly like him. The Brooklyn-based musician and painter is most commonly identified with the electric guitar, which since the late 70s he’s been applying to sparse, slurred blues, concentrated rock chords, Baroque constructions, and murky ambient jazz extrapolations. His music is united by a […]

• Chicago four-piece Rain Garden mold alt-rock into soothing songs

  21-08-2024 23:14 via chicagoreader.com
  
  The “alternative” music that took the monoculture by surprise in the early 1990s has become classic rock with the passage of time. Music I considered radical and strange as a child is now so deeply embedded in the DNA of our culture that I can hear it reshaped in the work of new Chicago artists. […]

• Chicago trio Daundry make shoegaze that puts you under its spell

  21-08-2024 23:09 via chicagoreader.com
  
  You’ve probably noticed that I’ve written concert previews for shoegaze acts increasingly often over the past couple years, and there has in fact been a big uptick of bands operating in the style. It’s not that difficult to make hazy, huge-sounding guitar-based music with smudged harmonies and lots of reverb, and for every group doing […]

  For those of us lucky enough to live here, Chicago is always the dense and vibrant hub of the world. But this week, our drop-dead gorgeous, beating-heart-of-the-nation city, with all its challenges and glories, really is the cynosure of the globe, focal point of the human universe.   It’s a heady moment. Also a traffic-tangling headache. […]

  If you walk or take the CTA a lot, especially on the north side, you may have spotted one of Mini Manson’s stickers. Some are drawings in black, white, and red, and others are pixelated color photographs, but they all show a circular image of a man’s head, tipped forward and smiling impishly up at […]

• Windy City Comedy Festival plants seeds for next year’s inaugural outing

  Chicago comic Ariel Julie is a picky booker.  If she doesn’t wholeheartedly believe a comic is expertly skilled, they’re not getting up on that stage—at least not if Julie has anything to say about it. So, when she started booking for the first annual Windy City Comedy Festival fundraiser on August 8, she was not […]

  21-08-2024 16:46 via chicagoreader.com
  
  Back in 2020, Nick Davis was a restaurant cook at the Black-owned Urban Grill when disruptions in the farm-to-restaurant supply chain made it difficult to acquire foods like lettuce, tomatoes, and dairy products. The pandemic lockdown caused growers and eateries alike to shut down, leaving the remaining farms to lose contracts with restaurants they serviced […]

  After months of preparation and anticipation, and with the eyes of the world on Chicago, the Democratic National Convention (DNC) kicked off on Monday, August 19. From the United Center to McCormick Place, Democratic Party officials began the politicking and elbow-rubbing that come with the ceremonial four-day affair. For the first time in the convention’s […]

A train carrying an armor-plated car rolled to a stop in the Chicago rail yards on July 15, 1944. At around three in the afternoon, the chairman and treasurer of the […]

  Steppenwolf has been mixing it up in recent (post-COVID shutdown) years with solo comedy outings from national names like Mike Birbiglia (The Old Man and the Pool) and Alex Edelman (Just for Us). From a financial and audience development standpoint, that’s probably a wise choice. Solo comedy is cheaper to produce than a full play, […]
