12th Annual Hideout Block Party
2008 is going fast and "Falling Slowly!"
Remember back in the Fall of 2006 when Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova stopped by the Hideout and casually performed some new music they were working on with their friends? They were trying to learn the music for a movie they were filming?
Yes, that was them again (though it's no longer "last night") at the Oscars performing the song with a full orchestra, and then accepting the award for “best original song.”
How about Jon Stewart breaking Oscar tradition, and letting Marketa come back to finish her acceptance speech?
Is this really happening?
What’s next? A Chicagoan sweeping the primaries and securing the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States?
Life is good!!!
Can we do this in America?
YES WE CAN!!!

Le Concorde
Sleep Out
Horse in the Sea
"Someone said, ‘One failed marriage and one million books read,’ but the story goes like this: Multi-instrumentalist, Stephen Becker began new recordings in 2006 after fleeing academe with an M.A. and Ph.D. from Northwestern, abandoning a failed 11-year marriage, and releasing the starkly autobiographical 'Universe & Villa' in 2005 on March Records.
Shortly after the release of “Universe & Villa,” Becker sought out his teenage musical hero, David Gamson of Scritti Politti and found him living in LA. The two struck up a friendship and embarked on a series of new recordings with Becker shuttling between Chicago and Los Angeles. Featuring Becker's acoustic guitar and intimate vocals blended with an explosion of color from Gamson's vast palette of vintage synths, 'Suite' will be released Nov. 6. The two have already begun envisioning an epic follow up." –SYNOPSIS
Sleep Out’s enthusiasm to begin the sessions for Not Even Dust was bolstered in part by the critical success of their first album I Was Your Shroud and its warm reception amongst music critics and bloggers alike. In the summer of 2007, Sleep Out left Chicago and headed to Portland, OR to begin recording with producer and Badman Recording Co label owner Dylan Magierek at Type Foundry studios. Magierek has produced and engineered albums by Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon), Call and Response, The Red Thread and tracks by Low and Erlend Øye (Kings of Convenience). Wanting to ensure Not Even Dust’s roots were firmly planted in the city of its inspiration, Magierek and the band completed the record at Chicago’s Electrical Audio studios winter of 2007.
Not Even Dust will be released on July 8, 2008 with CDs available via Chicago’s Two Thumbs Down Records and digitally available via Badman Recording Co. Sleep Out have shared the stage with Retribution Gospel Choir, Jason Collett, Asobi Seksu, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, The 1990s, Robert Gomez, Ra Ra Riot, Cordero, Ladyhawk and Buffalo Tom, among others
Horse In The Sea is the ancient story of a man at war with himself. With squinted, strained eyes he envisions a victory, but the opposite direction shows an inevitable defeat. Developed as a concept, the band played its initial show on the eve of 2007. Horse In The Sea features the introspective songwriting of founding member Joel Janis, the production of Kyle Andrews, and the drum kit of Ray Klemchuk. Their music, built around radiant harmonies and an electric folk foundation, maintains the identity of the records that make this sound possible. The debut album, “I Order The Sun To Shine On Everyone” was released on November 23, 2007 to a packed crowd at Chicago's Schubas Tavern. Also, the band will release a song on Thy Old Murkville Forest, featuring such artists as Denison Witmer, Anathallo, and Page France. They have been promoting these releases in most American markets including New York, Minneapolis, Chicago, Nashvile, and Philadelphia. Stayed tuned for many more shows in 2008.

Devil in a Woodpile
Chicagoist says this in their Pencil This In
Music: Still going strong after all these years, Devil in a Woodpile still draws crowds to the Hideout on a Tuesday night. Their approach to "old timey" music is sincere, and the trio of Rick "Cookin'" Sherry, Joel Paterson, and Tom Ray have amazing chops. This is perfect music to that out on a cold night. If you need further enticement, maybe $3 bottles of Newcastle are the perfect tonic.
New drink special on Tuesdays! $3 Newcastle pints!!

This is a residency that I have dreamed about for 10 years. Ken Vandermark, Mike Reed and friends are coming to the Hideout this Wednesday and every Wednesday forever. The Immediate Sound music series will bring guests from around town and around the world. Ken, Mike, and their friends will either be here at the Hideout, or curating the shows.

"The Hideout is perfect for literature events,..." says Joe Meno in Jamie Murnane's "Get Lit - An inquiry into the current state of writing and drinking in Chicago" newcitychicago.com WORDS article
"Once" has been Nominated for an Oscar - yes an Oscar!
Once "Falling Slowly" Music and Lyric by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

BTW - also nominated for two Grammys!
And there's a nice article in the January 11th Tribune called "Be It Resolved" that says...
New Year, new you, right? We don't presume to tell you what to do, but we know this: New Year's Resolutions were made to be broken. And now that you've messed up most of yours, we have some that aren't at all painful. You don't have to lose weight, join a gym, or drink less coffee. You just have to go out and have fun. Here are the On the Town's entertainment resolutions for 2008, from our staff and critics.
ROCK
* Support your local talent. The roster of incredible performances, that do their thing, regularly, right here in town, would boggle the mind. From Fred Anderson over at the Velvet Lounge, and Ken Vandermark at the Hideout, to honky tonkers the Hoyle Brothers and the innumerables Wilco, Sea and Cake, Tortoise...the list goes on.
* Take a chance. No, you don't know the band. So what? There are more than a few venues with impeccable taste; including the Old Town School, Empty Bottle, and the Hideout. They know even if you don't.

Chicago Tribune: "If you've done House of Blues, Try The Hideout"
on the front cover of the 5/24 At Play section, the Tribune had the following to say...
"You won't find flashy signage or beefy, uniformed bouncers at the Hideout, a rustic little music shack that sits on a gravel yard and glows warmly amid its steely industrial neighbors. You're more likely to find a pale hipster checking IDs at this bar and venue that hosts weekly lit-friendly performances and alt-folk nights, indie-rock up-and-comers and the occasional dance party or family event."
The New City Music 45 for 2007 lists the Hideout's Tim and Katie as #43, and mentions Mike and Jim as well...
43. Tim & Katie Tuten
Co-owners, Hideout
Along with the Hinchsliff twins, the Tutens operate one of the city's best bars with a grassroots mindset, dedicated the bands and artists first and the everything else much later. The result is a quintessential Chicago stop for live music, one that has recently harbored high-profile gigs like Touch & Go's anniversary bash last year...
