Coldwaves VII

METRO CHICAGO

 This year we are featuring THREE 3-Night affairs, in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago... with sweet home Chicago, the flagship, carrying two additional Smart bar events and a pre-party kick off event. Proud to have joining us, for a 4th year in a row, WAX TRAX RECORDS! setting up shop in our Chicago lobby, along with Electronic Saviors, Music to Cure Cancer setting up a booth in all 3 cities!

And of course... the music. Mr. Nivek Ogre, Bill Leeb and Jack Dangers at the headliner helm, along with a special extended-set from The Black Queen in LA... Chemlab performing their debut album "Burnout at the Hydrogen Bar" in full... C-tec, intact with JL DeMeyer (Front 242) and Marc Heal (Cubanate) hitting the stage for the first time in 20 years... an exciting CW debut for Continues, the latest project from Babyland's Dan Gatto, plus Vancouver post-punk darklings ACTORS, and NYC's mysterious and talented ANATOMY... CW gold-status members Paul Barker and Chris Connelly projects Lead Into Gold and Cocksure... the haunting and mezmerizing HIDE in support of their Dais Records debut "Castration Anxiety", along with Author & Punisher in support of his Relapse Records debut... and Chicago after-hours Live PA battles with the supreme Sara Taylor at the helm. And that's not allllll!

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Darkest Before Dawn, who we are working with to bring support, community and resources to our closest allies: the late-night service industry staff and live music engineers who keep our clubs and bars humming. Relating back to Jamie Duffy, and through the recent passing of other much-loved and talented people in these industries, we feel a distinct calling to provide this oft overlooked group a chance for better access to mental health resources, emotional support, community and appreciation. Data supports this group being very susceptible to depression, isolation and suicide, as with other 3rd shift employee schedules, and having little to no mental health insurance options. We hope to help Darkest Before Dawn offer counseling, resources and more to our brothers and sisters who work tirelessly to deliver our nightlife.

Freak Show you don’t want to miss !!!!!

Elgin history managed to hide a covert battle with the undead for years from its citizens. Many years ago, under top secret clearance, the Zombie Defense Initiative was formed, and managed to operate undetected until eight years ago.

In 2010, a spike in the number of undead predicted to shamble into the city, led the Zombie Defense Initiative to ask for help from a small number of determined citizens. Every year since that time, thanks to the prediction of highly-trained experts in the field of the undead uprising, increasingly more citizens have banded together to save our city from the zombie menace.

Citizens find themselves banded together, behind biohazard tents, just past overturned cars, and beyond makeshift medical buildings, taking a stand there in a one-of-a-kind “Safe Zone”.

For the citizen who asks the question, “What is Nightmare on Chicago Street?” The answer is something that every citizen needs to experience for themselves. Every person who spends five hours inside the many blocks downtown, witnesses something different. Survivors eat, drink and dance while bands play at multiple stages, citizens with possible infection are treated at our fully-licensed medical facilities, where experimentation is highly probably. Some people have even managed to create art out of the madness, and display it alongside other merchants in our well-lit bazaar. Every year, there is a twisted offering from steampunk time travelers, to warped circus performers, to the end of the world battle dome. Among the chaos, the Best Horror Host ever, Svengoolie, has been on watch every year within the ZDI Recruiting office. There's something (or someone) shocking around every corner of our historic downtown, and plenty of bars, restaurants and shops to escape into.

Our entrance gates have been redesigned this year, as well as a new ticketing agency. We are doing everything we can to make sure everyone can experience Nightmare on Chicago Street, the closest thing to a party at the end of the world.
