May Day!
Can you spot your Hideout staff in this mob of appropriately shady looking police?

Interview Show does NY
Mark Bazer’s taking his Interview Show on the road this week — all the way to Union Hall in beautiful downtown Park Slope (that’s in Brooklyn, kids).

Now, 20 months later, here’s the incriminating evidence: No One Got Hurt, a live CD documenting the […]

Four stars for Tyler and Stephen!
Check out Time Out’s four-star review of the latest from Cupola Bobber, aka the Hideout’s own Tyler Myers and Stephen Fiehn. Sayeth the reviewer: “Cupola Bobber’s final Chicago debut (the collaborative duo is soon New York–bound) is expansive and intensely personal, vexing and direct, and—presented in its Humboldt Park studio, which seats no more than […]
Hideout Without Shoes
Brrrrrr! Our feet are cold! That’s the point, though, of this sweet campaign from Tom’s Shoes, designed to raise awareness about childhood poverty around the world. Since it was founded in 2006, Tom’s has donated a pair of custom-made shoes to a child in need for every pair of shoes it sells. Why shoes? Let’s […]
