Hello Chicago friends- Just a quick note here to inform you of two great shows in Chicago...today and tomorrow... Thu.Jan.18th (Smart Bar) + Fri.Jan.19th (Sonotheque).
Not to threadjack here, but I feel obligated to mention another great show in Chicago tonight, Jan 18 at Sonotheque. Simko and Sassmouth are both great DJ's and Miskate did some really great tracks in 2006: Wake Up! Moves to 3rd Thursdays at Sonotheque! To celebrate the new monthly, curators Kate Simko and Sassmouth are proud to host Philadelphia-based label owner and producer Miskate! Miskate has been making waves in Europe and across the U.S. with her live set. Join us for her first Chicago appearance! Residents Kate Simko and DJ Sassmouth round off the night with DJ sets. 9pm - 2am 21+ Free before 10:00 $5 after MISKATE Miskate is Kate Iwanowicz. originally a Pittsburgh dj, she held down various residencies in that area. she received a degree in anthropology (and a minor in music) at university of pittsburgh -- where she also participated in a gamelan ensemble. her interests in sound began at a young age-first playing violin, then piano, then guitar, now sample-based electronics (often incorporating her own singing voice among other found sounds). her regular bookings playing deep, minimal house and techno encouraged her move to philadelphia in summer 2001. after relocating, she had taken responsibilities as co-organizer of both the pitchspork monthly (hosting names like magda, matthew dear, sammy dee, geoff white, jeff milligan and others) and the foundsound record label. her production debut came in may 2004 with the release of "rip it cookie muenster" (foundsound01). since then, miskate hammered out eps for foundsound, microcosm, alphahouse, roman-photo, karloff, einmaleins and plenty more to come. ~David
