Play (at Danny’s)
Play was Chicago’s longest running weekly experimental night (eventually second only to Jeff Parker‘s and John Herndon‘s Tuesday @ Rodan). (for seasonal, not weekly, hats off to Lampo!)
Every single Monday night from 1997 to 2004, Chicago’s underground electronic music had a forum in the buttoned up old punk rock living room that is Danny’s.
So many beautiful nights; so much music…
Hats off to Bob Davies & Brian Kelly – all I did was help name it, and show up with video for the first three months. It caught fire, and didn’t go out until Bob moved to NYC.
