hello--
this is kinda off topic, but it has to do with the survival of techno
in unfriendly territory, so
any help would be appreciated..
i'm looking for some websites or on-line chat rooms to promote the
BORROWED LANGUAGE
techno/electro night here in chicago.
we've had some really great guests and more to come (jay denham on
march 19th!!)--but
we can't seem to break the 150 mark as far as attendance goes.
we've got a few things working against us..
a) we're in chicago
b) the venue closes at 2am
c) the night is on sunday
you folks would be fucking amazed at how much talent there is in this
city in the techno vein
that goes completely overshadowed by chicago "club culture??" (what
an oxymoron...)
we have a small but dedicated group of dj's/producers that need to
get exposed, and that
is what the night is all about. the space is very laid back, more
known as an indie rock/jazz club
than anything else, and the people who do come out on a regular basis
are "true heads"--no fancy
dress code, no glow sticks or pacifiers, no push up bras or drug
peddlers....a real tribe of fighters...
anyway, i'm not giving up yet--i just need as much info as i can get
to expand my promotional
avenues. thanks in advance.
