This week’s gig poster brings us back to the world of online concerts. The staff at West Edgewater’s Experimental Sound Studio (ESS) have been working hard to bring a full calendar of collaborative programming from all over the world to our Internet “airwaves” since March. Saturday’s free concert was coordinated by online publication Tone Glow (edited by Reader contributor Joshua Minsoo Kim) and delivers experimental, noise, and improvised music from Sunik Kim, Wendy Eisenberg (both based in New York), Philadelphia’s Lucy Liyou, and Glasgow/South London collective Still House Plants. You can watch at ESS’s website or on Twitch.
Not everybody can make a fantasy gig poster, of course, but it’s simple to support organizations like the Chicago Independent Venue League—click here to learn how to help out. And anybody with a few bucks to spare can support the out-of-work staffers at Chicago’s venues—here’s our list of fundraisers. Lastly, don’t forget record stores! The Reader has published a list of local stores that will let you shop remotely.
