TG USA


Throbbing Gristle are set to play in Chicago for the first time... well, since Coum Transmissions performed here in November 1976 (at both Marianne Deson Gallery and at N.A.M.E. Gallery).

The show is scheduled for April 25, 2009, at the Empty Bottle "satellite" venue, Epiphany (the Episcopalian church at 201 S. Ashland Avenue, at Adams). Early reports are of an afternoon set of "In the Shadow of the Sun" and evening show of greatest hits, album songs, etc...

Let's see what sort of price tag this will carry... that is the sentiment that I have been hearing murmured over the last couple of days... Especially after the high cost and (inevitable) low return on the "Thirty-Second Annual Report"...
