Squarepusher @ Empty Bottle!!!

[superclyde]

The big man is starting his U.S. tour here in Chicago with Luke Vibert!

The Empty Bottlewill be hosting an extremely rare small club performance with electronic music superstar SQUAREPUSHER. One of the most enigmatic, paradoxical figures in music today, TOM JENKINSON is one but a handful of electronic music's top talents. His catalogue of music has been enumerated upon at great length by critics and fans alike, and his work with labels Nothing, Rephlex and Warp will surely continue to move people in the decades that follow. JENKINSON'S approach to composing is franticly attentive and he is "complex, fluid, restlessly inventive, constantly striving to strike the balance between energy and innovation and fuelled by the desire to achieve nothing less than the best." A major talent in his own right, LUKE VIBERT - the man behind releases using the PLUG and WAGON CHRIST monikers, respectively - will open the show with a special deejay set.

Empty Bottle has a great sound system to handle Squarepusher's deep basslines. For those who remember Sunday nights in the mid-nineties; the Dragon Dub Sound System, big Jungle and Drum'n'Bass sounds introducing the genre to the Midwest.
FRI. 7/18/03 (10:00pm; $15 advance / $18 door)
