starting in January, Brandon Wetherbee, Kelsey Snell and I have been playing bars in support of Machine Media, a magazine that does not yet exist in the dead-tree format God intended for it. Currently, we have residencies at the Liar's Club, Delilah's, and the Underground Lounge with more in the works. At Machine events, we play nothing but music performed by Chicagoans and former Chicagoans.
The first event took place on Thursday, January 5th (it will always take place on the first Thursday of the month). We were moving and switching off too fast for me to make a setlist but I will list the songs that got responses from the audience.
-Playing a track off of a Mary Tyler Morphine demo ("Damaged", I believe), two people came up.
The first, defiantly announced, "Ha! This is Tilt and they're not from Chicago."
The second beligerently thanked us.
-A song from Articles of Faith's album Core led a pretty girl to ask who I was playing. She was disappointed that AoF is not a current band.
-I got a loud "Yyyyeah!" for ending the night with Revolting Cock's "Linger Fickin Good"
-A dude in a Black Sabbath shirt chastised us and left for playing a Howlin Wolf song (he was a friend of ours, too)
feel free to post requests here for any music you'd like to see and come out to the next one.
(Not that anybody reads this, but, you know, if you end up here and all)
