Empty Bottle News & Events
The lovely fellas of Phosphorescent play the Bottle on August 5. If fans purchase advance tix to the show they receive a free MP3 download of Phosphorescent track “Hard to Be Humble.” If you are going to grace us with a show preview and would like to throw that tidbit in, that would be swell. If you haven’t seen these guys yet and are free next Thursday, I’d highly recommend coming to check the band out. It’s been awhile since the show was simply Matthew singing his guts out on stage in a lit-up hand-fashioned jacket, and the full band version of Phosphorescent that’s touring the States these days is really, really lovely.

For more info on the foundation please visit http://www.cpdmemorial.org/
In the midst of the tragedy of Matthew Leone’s beating and the recent deaths of three Chicago Police officers, we find comfort in the coming together of the Chicago music community to heal and care for each other. Thanks to all who came out and supported this event!
The Art Institute of Chicago is holding an event this Friday night, Gard(en)Counter. Curated by the staff of Metro / Smart Bar, Gard(en)Counter offers the recent history of musical styles in Chicago, beginning with the 1980s, that helped shape and grow Metro and Smartbar into Chicago music institutions. Dive into disco, house, techno, industrial, alternative, indie rock and electro, from 1982 to present day, with DJs Kid Color, Nate Manic and Bald E, plus a visual presentation. Gard(en)Counter will take place in the Pritzker Garden and Griffin Court in the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago from 9pm to midnight.
