Opening July 16 2010 : 7- 11 at Johalla Projects 1561 N Milwaukee Ave The show runs through August 7 and will have several events over the next few weeks... please check website or ask!

The Van Andrea Jablonski photo From Andrea Jablonski... As many of you know I am co-curating an exhibit this summer around the book Art of Touring with Anna Cerniglia at Johalla Projects The exhibit has grown into an amazing project featuring over 30 local talents, talents from the book and otherwise. Through the graciousness of sponsors ( PBR ) we plan to put out a catalog of the show which will be opening Pitchfork Weekend ( July 16-18 ) ... think really cool after party with beer and wine and amazing work by musicians! The show and book were briefly touched upon on Radio M recently as the fabulous Alison Cuddy had researched a similiar theme... musicians as artists... in whatever media - sketch, paint, word, film, etc. The show will include all these mediums and more... without giving too much away we have work coming from such bands/musicians as Joan of Arc, Ken Vandermark, Bloodiest, The Ponys, Wilco, Flosstradamus, Mucca Pazza, White Light and many, many more... we even have an artist who plans of building an installation involving the back of a van and how packing gear is an art. I hope to get support from all of you! A call to arms... Chicago is often underrated in music and art and I hope to bridge this gap and change some minds. All press and radio folks - please feel free to contact me with any and all questions. Everyone else pass the word on .. there is still time for other folks to get involved and exhibit! Thanks much and I hope to see you all this summer out and about! Cheers Andrea Jablonski Rabid Rabbit 
Thanks to Thad Rueter for this creative letter to TimeOut Chicago! He defends our honor while humorously pointing out what a real dive bar is really like. Perhaps his fine distinctions will help those few fine patrons of ours (we really do love you all) who may believe they're "slumming" when they come to visit us! We're not called a "dive bar" in the article linked above, and we haven't found a TimeOut Chicago article which tarred The Hideout with the "dive bar" term. Thanks very much to TimeOut Chicago for the way they describe us here, in their 40+ outdoor spots to get your drink on and enjoy the weather outside "The fact that a bar this incredibly difficult to get to via the CTA is packed almost every night with those who actually take the CTA is a testament to the Hideout’s devoted following. A lone house sidled by warehouses and railroad tracks, this is as juke joint as Chicago gets. We love the cheap beer, live local country-rock and DJs dropping nostalgia from Prince to Devo." You can still help The Hideout help Haiti! Please purchase the Judgeworks posters shown below online! Proceeds go to Partners in Health and Doctors Without Borders! 
Judgeworks poster The Hideout Haiti Benefit raised almost $8000 for Partners in Health! It happened Monday evening, 1/18, and featured the Waco Brothers and Eleventh Dream Day along with a poster sale by Judgeworks and a bake sale organized by My Vegetable Blog. Door and sale proceeds of almost $8000 will be donated to Partners in Health. Thanks so much for giving what you could to help those in Haiti recover from this tragedy! 
Judgeworks poster Dear Waco Brothers, Eleventh Dream Day, SALLY, Janet, Elliot, Tony, Jeanine, Martha, Judge, Sheila, Jerome, Noreen, Tyler, Mike, Jim and Tim (and Joanna "the bake sale gal" and her assistants!) (and of course our lovely Hideout patrons who attended and donated their time and money!) Thank you to everyone for your generous donations of time, talent, money, cook books, posters, baking, etc. Sally will be sending the check to Partners in Health! This is so so great! Thanks to all who helped!

Cardboard Hideout Lauren Viera's Tribune Entertainment Good visual art everywhere in 2009 starts right out by lauding the Kathleen Judge curated "The Exquisite City, City of Cardboard" exhibit shown last winter at the Chicago Tourism Center and the Viaduct Theater. The third paragraph is below, please click through to read the entire article and check out some great flickr photos of the exhibit and more press links below... http://www.exquisitecity.com/ Strange Closets Gallery Tour… the Exquisite City The Exquisite City | Viaduct Theater | Galleries | Chicago Reader Favorite Chicago Sounds — Exhibits ABC 7 Chicago: Exquisite City opens at Chicago Tourism Center The Exquisite City | Arts & Culture | The A.V. Club Chicago The Exquisite City @ Viaduct Theater - Flavorpill Chicago "And, in some instances, cheap materials. One of the best group shows came at the start of the year, in the midst of an already interminably long winter. "The Exquisite City, City of Cardboard" at the Chicago Tourism Center exhibited a wonderfully wacky, three-dimensional metropolis made out of the stuff used for package parcels. Dozens of artists of all stripes — from printmaker Jay Ryan to musician Sally Timms — wrought houses and buildings, entire blocks, cars and telephone lines out of cardboard, transforming the otherwise banal Tourism Center into a minicity complete with sound and lighting effects. Initially, 40 artists were invited to participate. Seventy contributed. If that's not local solidarity, we don't know what is." --Lauren Viera, Chicago Tribune Congratulations to Kathleen Judge and all of the artists who contributed! As Tim said... "What a highlight to our amazing year!"

Alana Bailey brand posters (including h/o calendars) are now available at alanabaileybrand.bigcartel.com/ The Hideout has fallen in love with its local coffee roaster. The Chicory Center’s Resistance Coffee project is Chicago's only 100% fair trade, organic, liberation-oriented coffee roaster. Resistance Coffee's current coffee is called Kropotkin's Kaffe, after Russian anarcho-communist Pyotr Kropotkin. The Chicory Center offers this delicious coffee with home delivery on a weekly basis, too! The Hideout is thrilled to have held a memorable fundraiser on June 22, 2009 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Thanks to Baby Alright, Jim Becker & Tim Rutili, The Judy Greene, Bobby Conn, and all the organizations who donated prizes. The night was a great success.

Jay Bennett & Quartet Parapluie at h/o 6/11/07 Sue P photo Some rights reserved Who can guess the secret of the sea? Who can guess the secret of the sea? If you can guess the secret of my love for you Then we both could know the secret of the sea words Woody Guthrie 1939 music Jay Bennett / Jeff Tweedy 1999 Jay Bennett we love you so very, very deeply. The tears we shed together will be shed again, and again and again. We will cry, and cry until we can both know the secret of the sea. --Tim Tuten Austin L. Ray's Paste Magazine Jay Bennett Remembered: Undertow Issues Statement from family Robert Loerzel's story about Jay Bennett 
For a small bar the Hideout pitches a very big tent. In business since 1934, our creaky little tavern on a dusty dead-end street famously welcomes all comers: musicians and artists, locals and tourists, anarchists and working stiffs. And in the 13 years under the current ownership, the Hideout's stage has played host to everyone from jazzbos and country crooners to metalheads and Mavis Staples. In the (unusually concise) words of co-owner Tim Tuten, it is truly "the neighborhood bar for the global village."
So it's not exactly a shock that Hideout Workers' Comp, Vol. II, the sequel to an acclaimed 2003 showcase of Hideout employees' talent, is more eclectic than ever. Curated and produced by Hideout staff, the new CD is a truly inclusive reflection of Chicago's diverse music scene. Here you'll find metal noise (bartender Andrea Jablonski's Rabid Rabbit,) Frenchified gypsy folk (soundman Ryan Hembrey's Can.Ky.Ree,) bluegrass pickin' (The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders String Band, with bartender Sarah Bortt,) and… Rimsky-Korsakov (The Makeout Party Big Band, a supergroup comprising bartender Jeff Thomas and sound guys Hembrey, Mike Sturgess, and Nick Broste.) Produced in a handprinted limited edition of 300 with original art by Hideout poster artist Alana Bailey, the CD is available at the bar and downloadable in .mp3 via the Thrill Jockey web site
No audio/visual recording permitted without prior written consent of the performing artist(s) and The Hideout. Please allow at least 48 hours notice for final approval.
