Noise Pop Chicago 2000
For the past eight years, Kevin Arnold (no relation to the squishy pre-teen on The Wonder Years) and Jordan Kurland (no relation to...well, to anyone, except his relatives) have run the Noise Pop music festival in San Francisco as a forum for drawing attention to underappreciated bands. Eight years later, the Frisco fest is still going strong, and they've launched a second fest in Chicago, along with Tom Windish and David T. Viecelli of the Billions Corporation.
We ain't never had no "indie music festival" in our neighborhood. No, sir. So Pop-Culture-Corn sent two of its intrepid music correspondents, Matt Springer and Dan Wiencek, deep into this heart of indie brightness to listen to as much tuneage as they could stomach. Five nights of music and eighteen acts later, they staggered forth from the haze to chronicle what they saw, then to probably sleep a lot.
What they saw amounted to tons of great music, some established acts and others that were new revelations. And in the bunch, not a bad time to be found.
If you dare--really, we mean it: if you DARE--venture forth with us into the madness, the insanity, the crazy stuff that was...Noise Pop Chicago 2000.
