Chicago Grotesque presents a night of ?grotesque music??three bands that mangle familiar styles into disconcerting forms through lyrics, performance and odd and innovative arrangements. THE BITTER TEARS headline here. These locals are purveyors of country swagger and formal waltzes with the ghost of Herb Alpert haunting the brass section. Pretty melodies are betrayed by absurd and surreal stories of the futility of life. Their creepy theatrical stage presence adds another level of dementia to the proceedings. LOVELY LITTLE GIRLS play second where they will transform child-like musical motifs into alien and frightening charges of dissonance, tangled polyrhythms and Catholic Church ceremony seriousness. Yet it is all grounded in a love for catchy melodies...however convoluted they may be. Chicago/Ann Arbor group, THE PUSSY PIRATES open taking a punk template and twisting it with unconventional and strange horn arrangements. They create ecstatic and jittery dance music celebrating the body in all its icky and sexy charms of blood, guts and copulation. Their bombastic infectious energy is not to be missed!

"TERRY REID should need no introduction, but this incredible talent should've been THE hugely successful powerhouse UK singer/guitarist of the 60s/70s, as he certainly blew away JOE COCKER, PAUL RODGERS or even ol' ROBERT PLANT - who TERRY recommended for the singer-spot in LED ZEPPELIN, when he TURNED IT DOWN! He also turned down DEEP PURPLE for the vocal slot! Wow - the mind boggles! His LPs are full of classic tracks covered by all from DONOVAN to CHEAP TRICK, and he toured in the day with the STONES (yes, the 'Altamont tour' - yikes), CREAM (the 'Farewell tour'), JETHRO TULL and FLEETWOOD MAC. His works, like River, Seed of Memory, and Bang Bang are all classic albums of rural folk, psych-blues, earth shaking soul, and mod pop bliss. He's collaborated with the STONES, GRAHAM NASH, JACKSON BROWNE, MICKIE MOST, BONNIE RAITTT, even ol' DONNY HENLEY, and countless others. He will be served well here with a backing band organized by guitarist wunderkind EMMET KELLY and most of his BOOGIE BAND (LEROY BACH, RYAN RAPSYS, etc), who helped make this exciting one-off gig possible. (Even TERRY couldn't remember when he played Chicago last!) MARK FRY made one of THE classic conceptual UK acid-folk LPs in 1971, Dreaming with Alice - recorded in Italy when FRY was a teenager! Bootlegged and lauded by heads for years, this album is easily on par with any by DONOVAN, NICK DRAKE, BERT JANSCH, and even some of the groovier CAN stuff. We are honored to present his absolute first US appearance. Expect sympathetic backing from DAN 'SINGLEMAN AFFAIR' SCHNEIDER on guitar, VIRGINIA TATE on flute, and ADAM 'HANDS OF HYDRA' KRAKOW on sitar. MARY ELLEN MCGEE hails from London, and also makes her first Chicago appearance with her unique brand of off-kilter transcendental folk on guitar, banjo and zither primarily. ELLEN has toured widely in the UK and US, playing at various folk and psych festivals in San Francisco, New York and Providence and has an album The Crescent Sun ready for release in early next year. ELLEN has been likened to LINDA PERHACS and VASHTI BUNYAN and sings about Greek mythology, sublimation, the ocean and metaphysics, usually involving a pretty high death toll. She's gigged with BRIDGET ST. JOHN, JACK ROSE, MARISSA NADLER, GHOST, etc. HANS CONDOR are a relatively new band from Nashville, TN whose passion for all things '70s lay the groundwork for ripping solos, roaring blues riffs and some funky noodling in between. They mix up the razor-sharp delivery of early punk, the glittery swagger of glam and the earthy aftertaste of Southern rock. They even touch on a little ZEP-style hard rock reggae. PISS PISS PISS ONO ONO ONO is the fusion of local concussive drums and electronics duo PISSPISSPISSMOANMOANMOAN and 80s experimental legends ONO, who played notorious gigs with NAKED RAYGUN, SNAKEFINGER and MINISTRY 'back in the day.' ONO released two LPs on Thermidor Records (SPK, BIRTHDAY PARTY, FLIPPER) which explored all from THROBBING GRISTLE-ish electro-grind to RESIDENTS-style doo wop and everything in between. GUTZEIT/HESS DUO is the collaboration of two local experimental mainstays, BRENT GUTZEIT of TV POW and other countless units, and STEVEN HESS of HAPTIC and many other improvisational ensembles. What the two will come up with together is sure to be some sort of sonic alchemy. VIRGINIA TATE will be coming from NY to back MARK FRY on flute, but will also apply her magic to a solo set of guitar, voice and beyond. In the past she was in underrated 80s no wave outfit KILLWILLOW, and she has worked with legends like MICK RONSON (BOWIE's main guitarist for many years), DAEVID ALLEN of GONG, HUGH HOPPER of SOFT MACHINE, KRAMER of BONGWATER, and even members of THE CLASH!"
