Thursday, July 11th: Rami Gabriel with Jon Langford and Al Scorch!
Three of Chicago's best dudes are gathering at the Hideout in two weeks! Beirut-born Sooper signee Rami Gabriel headlines!
Born in Beirut, Rami Gabriel has worked deeply in various traditions: jazz, blues, punk, tarab, rock and roll, and experimental music. Gabriel operates through syncretic dialogue and musical devotion, whether in the pop-minded rock songs of Rami and the Reliables (featuring members of NRBQ) or in his explorationof Arabic and American traditions in The Arab Blues. On his debut solo LP for Sooper Records, That’s what I been sayin’, Gabriel trips all the breakers with his worldly underground.
Do you read? Do you freaking love Bruce Springsteen? Do you have complicated feelings around the 4th of July? If so, join us in welcoming Steven Hyden for a converstion with Robert Mitchum about his latest book: THERE WAS NOTHING YOU COULD DO: Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In The U.S.A.” and the End of the Heartland on Tuesday, July 9th at 6:30!
“Steven Hyden could write about my least favorite band and I’d gobble it up because he’s just so good at writing about music. But when he tackles one of my favorite living artists, The Boss, he sends me to heaven. This book is such a gift: Hyden contextualizes one of Bruce’s biggest and least understood records by taking us back to the ‘80s and into the heartland and Bruce’s headspace. This isn’t a ‘making of’ book, it’s a meditation on who we thought we were and how we may have lost that identity, all told through Hyden’s experience with the record. It’s entertaining, heartbreaking, and makes a great case for Bruce Springsteen as one the great artists of our time.”
―Tim Heidecker
Tickets on sale now! $10, $20 to preorder the book!
This crazy talented chica is back at the Hideout Sunday, July, 21st for two shows with the Flat Five! 🐾🍻
The Flat Five is Chicago’s beloved band of in-demand music biz touring and recording ringers – Kelly Hogan and Nora O’Connor (Neko Case, Mavis Staples, The Decemberists, The New Pornographers) Scott Ligon and Casey McDonough (NRBQ, Brian Wilson) and Alex Hall (J.D. McPherson, The Cactus Blossoms.)
For over 16 years, these shameless harmony junkies have come together in their limited off-time to make their own kind of twisted sunshine pop. Their 2016 debut album It’s a World of Love and Hope scored big with critics and fans alike (including high-profile Flat Five fanatics like Nick Lowe and Wilco) and their 2020 follow-up Another World has kept the flame burning bright.
From the laid-back simple to the oddly romantic to the slightly subversive, there is a spirit of wide-eyed sweetness at the heart of The Flat Five’s music. The charms of this band are manifest — in-the-pocket harmonies, a vastly diverse genre-hopping repertoire, the infectious energy of their sold-out live shows, and their undeniable love for the music and each other.
