A new single-day festival-style event presented by Cold Waves, SPACE ECHO has special curated lineup with respect to Failure, whose groundbreaking 1996 opus, Fantastic Planet, reaches its 30 year milestone. Failure‘s entire catalog has been an inspiration to countless musicians and fans over the years, including strong relationship with a Chicago fan-base. For tickets and more information, click here.
To celebrate that relationship, Cold Waves Presents has built an evening of music featuring plethora of forward-thinking acts with a history and sound that ties to Failure and the city. Baroness, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Torche and Shiner have all shared enduring bonds with Chicago, while Slow Mass calls the city home.
Rounding out the bill is Spotlight (Ipecac Recordings artists and a recent fave of Deftones’ Chino Moreno) with Austin’s Ringo DeathStarr and Bleary Eyed from Philadelphia bringing the bliss. Heavy and progressive, where shoegaze meets metal, and the brown note finds grace in the doom, the inaugural Chicago SPACE ECHO single-day music fest is not to be missed.
“We’d been exploring an alternate idea the past couple of years, curating a show around a particular headliner that aligned with our musical passion, and related to the city of Chicago,” says Jason Novak, Cold Waves founder and director. “While our connection to dark wave and industrial music runs decades long, with experiences and relationships that cater to that fan-base, we obviously enjoy and relate to many other styles of music, and wanted a chance to explore that.”
