Burlington Bar soft opening for back room venue!
Thursday Sept 29 9pm Rabid Rabbit and Mystreater
Live music comes to the Burlington ( from Chicago Reader )
It's impossible to take five steps in Logan Square without running into someone in a band, but there aren't a lot of legal venues that host live music on the regular. The Burlington (3425 W. Fullerton)—where, full disclosure, I DJ occasionally—has only been using about half of its first-floor space since it opened four years ago, and it will give the neighborhood one more stage when it unveils a live room next month. "Basically the bar wanted to be able to have the capabilities of having more live shows and private parties and dance parties," says Greg Dandino, who co-owns the Burlington with his brother Chris. "So we sort of tweaked what we already had." The biggest tweak is the installation of a PA system designed by local audio engineer Tony Lazzara, who plays guitar in Bloodiest. Dandino stresses that the Burlington will be far from another Bottle, though—the room and the bookings are much more modest. Shows are tentatively scheduled to start the first weekend in October, and will include avant-garde metal outfit Rabid Rabbit, scruffy indie rockers Darling, and maybe a country hoedown.—MR

Three Beats (Chicago Reader) by Philip Montoro
METAL | Rabid Rabbit levels up on a forthcoming full-length
Last week local doom band Rabid Rabbit finished mastering Czarny Sen ("Black Dream" in Polish), their second full-length and first since Arriver guitarist Dan Sullivan came aboard in fall 2009. He joins Arman Mabry (bass), Mike Tsoulos (drums), and front woman Andrea Jablonski (bass, vocals), who calls this Rabid Rabbit's "first 'mature' recording." The lineup has jelled so that everyone contributes to the writing process, she says. "A lot of it is practiced improv, if there is such a thing—we fell out of any specific genre." Czarny Sen consists of four long cuts tracked and mixed with Sanford Parker at Engine over the past few months, plus the previously released 2009 recording "Suicide Song," with guest appearances by Bruce Lamont of Yakuza, Mark Solotroff of Bloodyminded, and two top-shelf improvisers—saxophonist Dave Rempis and percussionist Michael Zerang. Rempis is practically a regular member now, and plays what Jablonski describes as "Lost Boys-like sax" on "Raven."
She also calls Czarny Sen "the feel-bad record of the winter," and "Eclipse" shows why: it's like a reflection in dark, unquiet water, and Jablonski's incantatory Polish vocals help create an unease that crystallizes into refracted bolts of dissonant guitar. The album, which should come out around Halloween on Solotroff's Bloodlust! label, also includes a dirgelike, minor-key cover of "Land of the Glass Pinecones" by late-70s Boston band Human Sexual Response. Rabid Rabbit's next show is Wed 8/31 at 10 PM at Beauty Bar, with openers Alma Negra (who also open for Mr. Rudy Day at the Hideout Sat 8/13). It's free, and there's free pizza from Pie-Eyed.

A first...
With less than two weeks to go I just had a customer puke on my
records! And he hit a Rabid Rabbit record. Plus he's a fan of The
Hammicks. ( he wonder how anyone would sell a copy of their LP).
He's a friend from when I had the store in Hyde Park so I can't be
that upset. Plus he's still in store buying records.

Rabid Rabbit will be going into the studio in March to record with Chicago's "Master of Metal" Sanford Parker at Engine Studios. We're really looking forward to recording, not only with Sanford, but to also in Engines "way above decent" studios and on their "not to shabby" recording consoles and with their equally "badass" microphone selection.
