10.13: Superpitcher, ADA, Metope @ Smartbar

I really like the talent that smartbar has been bringing in lately. Not that I went to this show, but the style they're hosting is exactly what I'm into lately. Tiefschwarz in December is a definite date on my calendar.

i really liked metope's live act - had to leave before superpitcher - worked on friday - but everyone that stayed said it was dope

Dekay!!! Lawler was great too but i think i actually enjoyed Dekay more.

there were a few shows i missed that i would have really liked to see... Porter, Kaskade, Holden, Lee, Warren, etc.

Dekay for me as well... That guy was insane...

Hard call between Burridge and Lawler - but I enjoyed Lawler more even though he was a prick.

There's something to be said however for DJ's who do such a fantastic job of interacting with the crowd like Burridge - I have rarely seen showmanship like that.

I would have to pick 2 nights, Lawler and Hawtin. I had an incredible time at both!!! Friday night was siiickkk!!!!!

i think hawtin felt it was one of his BEST shows in chicago

here's a really good article on richie that was done on the saturday after his gig in chicago:

i think richie sums it up very well why i like the minimal/techno scene:

- no superstars
- people open to listening to cutting edge music
- tighter connection with the dj and the audience

I wouldve loved to have gone to at least 10 shows, but sadly only went to 2 of them. Between Three and Holden I'd have to say Holden. Three was great once he got his headphones working halfway thru his set, but I left about an hour before it ended. Holden was solid the whole way through.

I need to get out more often.

With the citeria based only on the amount of fun I had, I'd have to say Lawler.
