Wednesday, August 3Doors 7pm / Show 8pm$16 adv / $18 dosAll Ages+$2 at door if under 21HorsegirlHorsegirl is a noisy rock trio from Chicago composed of Penelope Lowenstein (she/her), Nora Cheng (she/her), and Gigi Reece (they/them), all 17-18 years old. Horsegirl draws inspiration from shoegaze and post-punk, in the realm of 90s American and UK indie underground. Together for just over a year, they have played contemporary art museums, all ages venues, open mics, and house parties.https://www.instagram.com/horsegirlmusic/https://thisishorsegirl.bandcamp.com/Dummy Los Angeles band Dummy refuses to slow down. After releasing two cassette EPs in 2020 (on Popwig and Born Yesterday respectively), Dummys debut full-length album arrives via Chicagos Trouble in Mind Records. Employing pummeling guitars and celestial ambience within the same breath, the band folds a myriad of reference points into their drone-pop style. Influence from 60s melodicism and 90s UK noise pop can be found woven in with inspiration from spiritual jazz, Japanese new age, and Italian minimalism.Dummy dodges the brooding, dark, dramatic tropes of contemporary artistic music often found in punk, experimental, and electronic, instead insisting on joyous and euphoric sonic palettes. They refuse to be artistically stagnant, continuously shifting their approach to writing across 12 tracks. Shaped by performances around Los Angeles in 2019, songs like Daffodils and Fissured Ceramics feature relentless driving energy and ample psychedelic noise. Elsewhere, Dummy counterbalances the aggression with meditative synthscapes focused on sound design and studio experimentation, like on the motorik X-Static Blanket. Finally, centerpiece H.V.A.C. and the albums final track, Atonal Poem, seek to synthesize these two poles, offering multi-part journeys through uncharted sonic territory.In contrast to blissed-out instrumentation, Dummys sardonic lyricism examines the burden of modern life, consumerism, environmental collapse, alienation, and other anxieties born out of living in this absurd moment in history. Interior design, marine pollution, the psychology of commercial architecture, and nuclear testing are all featured subjects. Dummys restless creativity keeps them moving ever-forward, continuously challenging themselves and pushing their sound into exciting and exhilarating places. This is - as the album title suggests - Mandatory Enjoyment.https://notdummy.bandcamp.com/
