Saturday, February 24, 2007 Chicago Acoustic Underground In just six months, they've garnered thousands of listeners from all over the world, including around 50 in Singapore. And it's no wonder: the Chicago Acoustic Underground is a fun podcast featuring live performances from some of the Chicago area's best. As much as I hate Myspace, I have to admit that it's been a useful tool. When it's not giving me "unexpected technical error[s]," I've found some amazing musicians--and some pretty cool people have found me as well. Michael Teach, who runs CAU, asked me to appear on the show a few weeks ago, so last night I brought my guitar over to their space in Lincoln Park. Let me tell you, the space is amazing--I've never seen so many musical instruments and amps in one person's apartment before. There were something like 10 guitars, a saxophone, a mandolin, a full-length keyboard, a drum kit, and not a few microphones. And I'm probably forgetting some instruments. The mixing engineer's name is also Michael, and both of them were a blast to work with. (Actually, "work" is a bad word--it was really fun.) I planned to do three songs, which seemed standard from what I'd heard on the show, but after playing one on piano and two on guitar, both Michaels convinced me to play another song--which, admittedly, wasn't very difficult to do. So sometime in March you'll get to hear a bunch of the newer material live on the internet. In the meantime, stop by and check out what they do. Labels: performing ^ Top | 1:26 AM | | |
