Tu con tu torta! haha If you liked that, you most def need to try the carne asada roach coach tacos of LA. They are straight up YUM!

“In a good mood I manage to get everyone from frozen in fear to yes let’s dance like we are Germans.”

It was pretty hilarious seeing everyone kinda look at each other nervously, not being totally familiar with your style and watching you in both curiosity and fear (lived up to your name, sir). As you said, it’s an “acquired taste” and people acquired that taste FAST.

I didn’t realize your hotel was like one block from mine when I was walking around exploring for food. The heat didn’t hit me as bad as it did to you, but doesn’t make it any less annoying.

It was a really fun show and I hope to experience it again, even if I have to travel out of state again :) Still doesn’t mean I won’t stop bugging for an LA show ^___^ If you ever do LA, tacos/tortas/pupusas on me!

Chicago stuff:
I don’t know of any active promotion groups in our scene.
We just had a 3 day wax trax celebration at the Metro.
Abbey Pub seems to book good shows a few times a year.
My choice venues would be Bottom Lounge and Double Door for a Horrorist show.
One local band has come a long way, and may be a good resource: Cyanotic. Other guys you probably know (or should) would be Polyfuse, who recently opened for Celldweller.

For club nights, NEO is still the standard, but maybe after 10 years of patronage, I’m just not impressed anymore. Exit used to be a force (I was resident DJ there, and I did play Horrorist regularly), but it’s barely on the radar anymore.

For some reason, Milwaukee seems to book the choice shows. Combichrist performed in Milwaukee, with no Chicago date. Wow, simply wow.

I like Chicago… any good regular EBM/Goth/Industrial ongoings there? That would be the best bet.

I love reading field reports like this. Thanks for the detail.
Since you don’t play Chicago (no blame), one day I’ll have to catch you on the road for a show.
