Dead Fame

This past weekend was the event every 18 year old electronic music fan in Chicago was waiting for.. Dead Fame at Bottom Lounge. I must say, the venue was a pretty good fit for a pseudo-rave, with multiple spaces for music and even a nice rooftop, outdoor patio, which is a rare species in this town. In the end, I had a good time though I also became well aware of the alarming fact that I've been shooting parties for over four years now and it might be about time to cash in my drink tickets and hang out in the daylight a little bit more often.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum & American Draft at Bottom Lounge

I was assigned to cover this show on Sunday night at Bottom Lounge for the Reader. I was previously unfamiliar with the headliners, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and was pleasantly surprised by them. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out my friend's band American Draft opened the show. Aside from that, the lighting was insanely hard to work with and I was far from my A game, but you do what you can. You can see the results below or in this week's Chicago Reader Photo Pit section.

Rock & Wrestling

Witches Ain't Shit 4

October 28, 2009 | Bottom Lounge | Chicago: How many dudes can you fit in a DJ booth? That is the question! Flosstradamus, Thunder Horse & co. put on a crazy party, per usual, at Bottom Lounge this time. I especially loved the dueling DJ booths set-up on either side of the dance floor. Not sure if Josh & Curt got a divorce. Oh yeah, and Steve Aoki made an appearance, kind of. Click here to see all the photos from the party!
