The Chicagoist ran a sweet little preview about the Bike-In Movie Theater screening of ‘The T.A.M.I. Show’ taking place this coming Sunday May 13th at 8pm.
The T.A.M.I. Show was available only as a bootleg before being officially released on DVD a couple of years ago. Luckily The Hideout is offering an even better way to take it in, screening T.A.M.I. Show on their patio this Sunday as a bike-in movie. Presented with the Logan Square International Film Series, admission to the bike-in movie is free to everyone 21 and over. You can fill your messenger bags, panniers and saddlebags with all the snacks you want and enjoy beverages from the Hideout’s bar. Now in their second year, the bike-in screenings should accommodate 100 to 150 people. It should almost make being a Chicago grown-up in 2012 feel not just lucky, but “1964 Santa Monica Teenager”-lucky.
T.A.M.I. Show screens Sunday, May 13, at The Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia Ave, 8 p.m., FREE, 21+

Michael Slaboch, talent buyer at the Hideout, archivist and producer for the Numero Group, what he’s obsessed with. His answers are. . .
JC & Co., Music by JC & Co. It’s refreshing (and very rare) to hear an album for the first time and immediately want to have it on repeat from top to bottom for the entire day. This happened recently with the new self-released LP by Texas-based artist Jason Chronis. Parts of the album could easily be mistaken for Jon Brion outtakes, and it also has some really catchy Zombies-esque hooks—which made it the perfect soundtrack for our unseasonably warm March.
Mazzy Star, “Common Burn” b/w “Lay Myself Down” Hope Sandoval comes to terms with her identity crises and returns as Mazzy Star for the first time in 15 years on this self-released seven-inch. Both tracks exude all of the reverb-laden mysteriousness and sonic subtleties that made her earlier work so special. Now let’s just hope there’s a full-length getting finished sometime soon.
WFMU archives If you’re looking for an engaging alternative to the highly manufactured musical streaming world of Pandora this and Spotify that, look no further than the free-form radio archive of WFMU. A listener-supported FM station out of Jersey City, NJ, WFMU has DJs—yes, real human beings volunteering their time to choose and play music for you!—who are all over the proverbial map, exposing you to an endlessly vast array of tunes you never knew existed.

Hey Hey Everyone,
A quick note before we get into this week’s shows…
Tickets are moving swiftly for this ultra-rare solo appearance by Luther Dickinson (from The North Mississippi All Stars & The Black Crowes).
He’ll be playing “American Primitive-esque” instrumental pieces followed by a performance with his stellar new group, The Wandering. This will be a partially seated show and we hope you get to snag some tickets before it’s too late!
Tonight we are super excited to have former member of The Good, Tony Rogers, in the house with an 11-piece band, and Sandman (aka Chris Sand) the country rappin’ cowboy getting things started at 9pm.
Friday is a stellar triple bill with the grizzled-rock sounds of Matthew Ryan, Hideout favorites The Sanctified Grumblers, and an acoustic set from Brandon Sampson of Six Mile Grove.
Saturday the post-rock group Prichard is back after years away and they’ll be bringing out a bunch of their dear friends to help them celebrate their new CD release. Joining them throughout the evening are, Blasted Diplomats, The Thin Man, Dorain Taj, and Spearhead.
Later that evening it’s time for the Life During Wartime Dance Party & Social who will cure all of your dancing needs.
Monday has Robbie Fulks performing a duo set with Audrey Auld.
Tuesday it’s the first one of the month which means it’s time for the always eclectic sounds of Mar Caribe in the front bar.
Wednesday the Immediate Sound Series presents Abrams / Taylor Duo along with Mitch and Paz spinning a few tribute sets of music by the late Levon Helms.
See you soon,
The Hideout

“Chicago then was like this embryonic version of ‘Portlandia.’ Though, no question, the show’s informed by my time in Chicago.” – Fred Armisen
The Chicago Tribune
