autosuggestion - update

I had hoped to have good news, by now, about the move to a new venue - but those plans fell through.

For the time being, autosuggestion is on hold, until I can find a suitable place to host it. At this point, I am only considering "noise-friendly," conveniently located bars and clubs in Wicker Park, Bucktown, Ukranian Village, or thereabouts, with a big PA that the staff is not afraid to turn up. A tall order, I guess.

Between the low turnouts at a lot of recent shows in Chicago, and the less-than-ideal venue situations, scrambling to set-up another temporary location for June seems pointless. There have been a lot of great noise/experimental shows recently with tiny audiences, so why add more to the calendar when the support is not there in the first place?


More news soon...
