Chicago is Fast Company's U.S. City of the Year!
Check out the wonderful article by Alex Kotlowicz that includes Hideout folks Tim Tuten, Kelly Hogan, Tony Fitzpatrick, The Struts, Poi Dog Pondering, Wilco, and a quote from a certain "punk rocker from Wales" you may know. There's also a nice quote from Tim saying...
"We're conscious of what made Chicago great. We have a historical reputation to uphold. This is the city of Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, Lou Rawls. It's from the ground up."
It's a long loving article and very much worth the time to read. We'll bet you might find yourself forwarding the article link to friends and family!
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!!!
Hideout named Chicago’s Best Rock Venue and Best Dance Party!
On a recent Saturday the Hideout threw a (free free free) Appreciation Dance Party! for all of the fans that voted for us as “Chicago’s Best Dance Party” in a recent issue of the Chicago Reader.
To celebrate, we have finally installed a disco ball!
Other “Best Of” winners participated and provided free stuff. These winners included (best coffee) Intelligentsia (best restaurant) Lula Cafe (best wine selection) Cellar Rat (best record label) Bloodshot Records (best record store) Dusty Groove (best tattoo artist) Dawn Grace Russell and (best festival) Pitchfork.
Congrats to all our Pals for being the Best!
The Reader's Monica Kendrick writes "...I’m going to stand by the Hideout for its combination of bookings, friendliness, comfort, price point, and community involvement—and the fact that the barflies more in love with the sound of their own voices than the sound of the band get a room to themselves with a door that closes." - check out the entire article
Thanks to the Chicago Reader and the Reader’s readers who selected the Hideout as the Best Rock Venue and Best Dance Party in Chicago.
We are really proud to be in the company of such other great venues.
Of course the secret to our success is not a secret at all. It is a friendly staff, made up mostly of musicians, and artists, that are not only concerned with our community but actually participate in civic minded activities. Add amazing bands and cheap beer and you’ve got a great party.
Just a brief explanation though.
The doors between the front and back rooms were added so that the “barflies” would not have to suffer through Tim’s arduous “introductions,” and at the same time the music fans in the back, would not be disturbed by Tim pontificating to the barflies in front about everything from the banality of cable television to the architecture of the United Arab Emirates.
Thanks for coming to our party for 12 years now!
"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!

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. See the entire article
Lizz Kannenberg's "Spend 'Amateur Night' with a Real Professional" on chicagoist.com mentions Jon Brion's 2006 show at Hideout!
"We'd bet we're not the only ones who left the Hideout that night thinking we’d just seen the best live musical performance we might ever see." more!
Ellen Warren's Tribune Magazine "Just One Thing" feature article "Organ Transplant" includes Hideout bartender Sarah Staskauskas' successful Los Angeles based fashion design business, and how it changed in an "organic" way at the Hideout Holiday Sale in years past.

"Jeff Tweedy's Sweet Home" article in American Airlines magazine "American Way" mentions h/o twice!
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...

Check out a nice alarmpress.com preview on the upcoming Mavis Staples album "Mavis Staples Live: Hope at the Hideout" coming out on Election Day. The page includes a preview of the album in the form of the song "We Shall Not Be Moved" which was pre-released on the first day of the convention.
"Mavis Staples Live: Hope At The Hideout" to Be Released on Election Day on ANTI- Records
50 Years Later, Mavis Still Hopeful for Change as Her Life's Work Moves From the Streets to the Polls
LOS ANGELES, CA, Aug 27, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Mavis Staples, the first lady of resistance, is set to release "Mavis Staples Live: Hope At The Hideout" on November 4th of this year. Fitting that Mavis' record should come out the same day that one of the most momentous elections in U.S. history will be decided, as her dedication to social justice and freedom spans over 40 years of modern history; first as lead singer of the Staples Singers, where her voice became the living soundtrack to the Civil Rights Movement, continuing through to 2007 when she won a Free Speech award created to honor artists that have incited discussion and worked against the status quo through their music and their actions.
With the election season kicking into high gear with the Democratic National Convention in Denver, COand the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, MN, Mavis is releasing the first track off "Hope At The Hideout". Entitled "We Shall Not Be Moved," the song is a soulful rendition of a classic freedom song. While the song, which includes lines like "we're fighting for our children / we shall not be moved," could be the theme song for either of the current political campaigns, Mavis puts it squarely into context during an instrumental break-down in the middle of the song. In the South in the 1960s, Mavis drawls, just trying to have a meal in a restaurant was in itself an act of civil disobedience, and when she and her fellow marchers would be forcibly ejected by the police, they sang "We Shall Not Be Moved." By the end of the song, we get a real sense of where this amazing figure has been, and how much we have to learn from her. "We Shall Not Be Moved" is available at www.anti.com
Mavis has deep roots in this election. She and Barack Obama attended the same church in Chicago. Obama, the man Mavis has called "in a way, so much like Dr. King" -- and she would know, for Mavis and her family worked side by side with Dr. King fighting for civil rights -- will deliver his highly-anticipated speech to the DNC on Thursday, the 45th anniversary of Dr. King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech. Congressman John Lewis, who figured prominently in Monday night's moving tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy, wrote the liner notes to Mavis' last record "We'll Never Turn Back." But her connection goes deeper than personal relationships. In a year where "hope" and "change" are buzzwords of the day, "Mavis Staples Live: Hope At The Hideout" highlights how those two words are aspirations she has lived her life striving for.
Mavis Staples live album set for November release
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Truly great live albums are about capturing lightning in a bottle, that rare and perfect convergence of time, place and performance. When legendary soul/gospel artist Mavis Staples returned home to Chicago this last June for a performance at The Hideout, Chi-Town’s renowned stronghold of alt country and purist rock and roll, it was undeniably such a moment.
Those who packed the sold-out club were blessed with a riveting musical statement as Staples, backed by her fiery three-piece band and three backup singers, put on a rousing musical tour de force. Fortunately, for those of us unable to be there in person, the show was recorded and the album, Mavis Staples Live: Hope at the Hideout, is set for release November 4th.
Acclaim for Staples’ Hideout performance:
“Anyone who was hearing this American treasure in concert for the first time learned precious lessons about where we have been and where we are today. Staples stood tall and shouted, ‘My mind is made up, my heart is fixed.’ And she smiled. She was not alone. - Chicago Sun Times
“There are few living musicians who can lay claim to being America’s conscience, even fewer who continue to make vital music. On Monday night at The Hideout, Mavis Staples proved she’s still capable of both… Staples showed she can light a fire, agitate for change or re-energize the American songbook.” - Time Out Chicago
“While performing a 14-song set that canvassed her 52-year career, Staples sang with a voice that has long distinguished her from the R&B greats of her era and those who reach for that crown today.” - Chicago Tribune
“Staples’ sold out performance at Chicago’s Hideout last night brought the Civil Rights movement and all those souls who marched, sang and prayed during that critical time, to the crowded little room... The ghosts of the marchers stood among us, swaying, stamping, clapping.” - Popmatters

Mavis Staples on why she chose Hideout to record her live album!
Time Out Chicago's Scott Smith wrote a nice The TOC Blog > Music post about the recent Mavis Staples show at Hideout, and then updated it with a quote on Hideout from Mavis Staples herself! And now comes word that it's been chosen as the liner notes for the album! Congratulations to Scott Smith!
You know how every once in a while you hear about a show that from the sound of it will likely be one of the best shows of the year? Jon Brion’s show at Hideout comes to mind, and another upcoming show at the Hideout is giving me that "Must-see" vibe: Mavis Staples will record a new live album there on Monday June 23.
Update: As for why she chose the Hideout for this show, Ms. Staples - via her publicist - had this to say:
"I definitely wanted to do something in my hometown. I love playing at Symphony Hall, Millennium Park, Ravinia and places like that but for the live recording, I wanted to do something that was really intimate. I wanted to be able to feel the closeness of the crowd, see the smiling faces up close, you know, feel the spirit, and The Hideout is a perfect place for that."
Check out the calendar for a complete list of upcoming shows!

Chicago musicians unite to celebrate inauguration in DC
The Hideout and Interchange are thrilled to announce The Big Shoulders Ball: Chicago Celebrates Change. This celebration of citizen politics, independent music and Windy City civic pride will take place on the eve of the presidential inauguration—Monday night, Jan. 19—at the Black Cat in Washington, DC.
Featured performers at the Big Shoulders Ball include...
Andrew Bird
Tortoise
Waco Brothers
Eleventh Dream Day
Jon Langford
Sally Timms
David "Honeyboy" Edwards
Ken Vandermark
Freakwater
Icy Demons
Judson Claiborne
plus special guests to be announced.
On the Web, tickets are on sale via
http://www.blackcatdc.com at ticketmaster.com
Cost is $50 with a portion of proceeds going to the Chicago Public Schools marching bands program and the Future of Music Coalition. In Chicago, tickets may be purchased at the Hideout. Ball-goers are encouraged (but not required!) to wear vintage, thrift-store, hand-me-down and ex-bridesmaid formal attire.
The Big Shoulders Ball represents a culmination of activities by the Hideout and Interchange during the 2008 election cycle. Interchange volunteers registered more than 1,500 voters at the Pitchfork Music Festival and the Hideout Block Party. The Hideout hosted fundraisers for Barack Obama and weekend GOTV carpools to Wisconsin and Indiana.
In addition to presenting the Big Shoulders Ball itself, the Hideout has chartered two buses to transport performers, staff, friends and participants in its GOTV activities to the DC area and back.
Hideout co-owner Tim Tuten is ecstatic about the ball. "Since the first Interchange Festival on the street in front of the Hideout in 2004, we have dreamed of the day that we could all celebrate a new direction for our country," Tuten says. "Of course we never dreamed that the person leading that movement would be a local guy from right here in Chicago. Our city's musicians, artists, writers and volunteers were part of the first wave of this ground-breaking campaign. They are the heart of our club's community. There was no way that we could miss this historic event."
The Hideout is a live music venue that supports cutting-edge creative artists. It has been nationally recognized as one of the best live music venues in the country, as well as one of the most politically progressive. Its staff and artists share a belief in artistic freedom and socially responsible business practices.
Interchange is a nonpartisan, all-volunteer effort to engage citizens in the democratic process through underground music and art. Interchange works with artists, performers, venues, and fans to mobilize individuals as enfranchised and informed voters who realize the value of civic participation and seize their power to organize, advocate, volunteer and vote.
