Chicago Noise Machine Sells Out First Show!
Chicago Noise Machine, the new musical partnership of nine local rock bands, exceeded expectations by selling out its inaugural showcase at the Cubby Bear Wrigleyville on Friday, November 14. Over 900 people filled the main stage floor to see Simplistic Urge, Bullet Called Life, Heavy the Fall, Algren, Lucid Ground, Reverie, 72 Hours, Echo Son,and A Birdsong Valentine perform at the 6-hour show that was sponsored by Q101, FanFound, and Vegas Fuel.
Natalie Ferwerda of Duff Entertainment described the event as "an absolute success in all ways. The [Cubby Bear] general manager called me immediately the next morning to tell me how great the night was. We would welcome these bands back at any point in the future." True to the uniting spirit of Chicago Noise Machine (CNM), musical collaborations between the bands were frequent, occurring in nearly every set, and provided fans with a unique concert-going experience. Betta Lopez, Assistant Producer for Q101 and founder of Betta Promotions said "I thought it was one of the most well put together shows I've ever been to. Everything was so well produced and it went so smoothly. All the bands complemented each other very well! I was very happy to be a part of that night."
The Chicago Noise Machine member bands are currently working to organize a follow up showcase in February or March of 2009. In the meantime, the groups will continue to promote CNM at their individual shows and distribute free copies of their first compilation album, "Chicago Noise Machine, Vol. 1."
