CHICAGO: GO TO FACE THE STRANGE TONIGHT!

Wrekmeister Harmonies

Along with the city's vibrant metal community, one of the things I miss the most about living in Chicago were Tuesdays at the Museum of Contemporary Art (220 East Chicago Ave.). Admission was free, and quite frankly, you couldn't put a price on some of the oddities on display. Goes to show that art is alive and well, depending on your definition of "art."

Tonight, as part of the museum's monthly Face The Strange Series, some of Chicago's finest are coming together to provide a live musical score for You’ve Always Meant So Much To Me, a film done by local sound artist J.R. Robinson, aka Wrekmeister Harmonies.

Who did Robinson get to join him? How about Mark Solotroff (Anatomy of Habit, Bloodyminded, most well dressed man in extreme music), Bruce Lamont (Yakuza, Circle of Animals, the real Sexy Sax Man), Jef Whitehead (Leviathan, Lurker of Chalice, Twilight, leading cause of butthurt comment sections), Sanford Parker (Twilight, Circle of Animals, Nachtmystium, producer wunderkind), and Stavros Giannopolous (The Atlas Moth, Twilight, Chrome Waves, mustache gone but not forgotten)? What a lineup, especially given that this will be a rare appearance from Whitehead. And since today is a Tuesday, admission is free for the performance and the museum as a whole. Don't miss out!

Check below for a clip from the film, as well as samples of some of the artists performing with Robinson.
