The Glitch Factor CD Release show was great!
By admin | May 26, 2008
The Glitch Factor CD release show w/Dual Boot was a complete success! Neptune Crush cancelled & Paul Wood/aka DJ Convulsion/Murder Happens, saved the day by dj’ing at the last minute, since the club did not have a CD player. Dual Boot was so talented, they everyone’s attention! Great dance music & I can’t wait for more.
Glitch Factor was amazing as always & Mary from Sinfinis sang 5 songs with them.
Local artists that I noticed there for support are as follows: V1rtual D3scent, Pink Noize Productions, Polarized Mind, The Coil Of Sihn, Stykfaktor, DJ Chrome 242, Synthetic, Cybergeist, DHD, & DJ Skeletal. Of course Murder Happens, because Paul was the dj for me.
& 2Cent’s Plain was a great place & the sound guy I knew from The Ground Floor, so a bunch of great guys & we will definately have more shows there!
The show was great, so thank you to everyone involved & who attended!

UPDATE: Promoters Law passes committee…
After a more than four-hour session Wednesday, the City Council Committee on License and Consumer Protection passed the proposed promoters law written about at length in the preceding post. The ordinance now goes to the full City Council on May 14, and if approved there, the Chicago music scene will once again change for the worse at the hands of city officials.
Of course, the city already has myriad laws on the books dictating proper licensing and safety codes for concerts and clubs — not the least of which is the controversial “anti-rave ordinance” passed in the ’90s, which came on top of police, fire, city building and health department oversight and the always acute watch of aldermen and neighborhood groups.
But suddenly, city officials — chief among them committee chair Ald. Eugene Schulter (ward47@cityofchicago.org) and acting director of the Department of Business Affairs and Licensing Mary Lou Eisenhauer — have an urgent need to create an entirely separate part of the city code tightening the reigns on promoters even more. And this need is so urgent that little effort was made to seek any input from the promoters or the people who work with them.If approved by the committee and the City Council, the law would require anyone promoting any event drawing more than 100 people to obtain a license — even if they are working with a well-established and already licensed promoter.
Licensees would also have to carry at least $300,000 in commercial liability insurance (even if the venue is insured), and they would have to be at least 21 years old (thereby ruling out enterprising college students, D.I.Y. punk fans and other budding young entrepreneurs from hosting a concert or a legal rave — and if you think that’s not a good idea, you should know that several of the top promoters in Chicago actually started their careers at age 18 or 19).
What all this means is that if, say, a local fanzine wanted to promote a monthly concert featuring the bands in its new issue at a well-established local club of 200 capacity, the editors would have to apply for a promoters’ license and meet all of the requirements and expenses, even if the club already has a license and can boast of a clean record of trouble-free events. The same would hold true of many regular benefit gigs.
As it now stands, the law would only allow venues with “fixed seating” — that is to say, chairs that can’t be removed — to host one-time events by unlicensed promoters like our magazine or benefit in the example above. This requirement rules out the exact sort of clubs that would most benefit from these events, including venues such as the Empty Bottle, Buddy Guy’s Legends and Metro
One music activist who asked not to be named said that “the net impact of this law is simple: It’s going to make it harder for a lot of people to promote concerts in Chicago, and therefore there’s going to be less music in Chicago.
