    16 bit lolitas live @ spybar, chicago. review

    so in chi-town for lollapalooza, and decided (in retrospect probably poorly) to skip mark farina's 15 year ohm anniversary party @ smartbar and head to see 16 bit at spybar.

    firstly...who names one club "spybar" when there is already a "smartbar" (or vice versa, which ever came second). who thought that was a good idea?

    spybar itself...impressions. too small a dancefloor. not the most educated crowd. unable to dance well once busy. decent, but not amazing sound. really wish we'd headed to smartbar and had some room to dance without getting bumped into every 30 seconds by people coming on to or leaving the dancefloor.

    16 bit lolitas...played some great driving prog, recognized several tracks (ie. tree dance, sweep the floor, etc). mixing was so-so, not the best...but passable. couple flubbed mixes but they corrected pretty well.

    would very much like to see them again, but in a different venue...

    now i'm going to bed so i can manage to see tool tomorrow night without needing a wheelchair. i hurt all over.

    This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

          wow. thanks Jeff. If I ever get to chicago and go to spybar, i'll make sure to get there early to actually have time to stretch out before the crowd comes in.

          Sounds like it's a small lounge that they TRY to pin as a big club.

            its a poor layout that sinks it. would be decent otherwise.

            smartbar tonight for kaskade. not a big fan, but i really want to check it out before we leave!

                we didn't even get in. kaskade was completely sold out with a massive line by the time we made it down. was not thrilled, but it happens sometimes i guess...

                gives me an excuse to come back to chicago though!

                  Aarian from 16 Bit Lolitas was great here in LA. I agree, Smartbar definitely has one of the best vibes in Chi-town.
