Greetings friends- Just a quick reminder here about a great party we have going on tonight. We have an ad running in The Reader and managed to land some press coverage from publications like FLAVORPILL.COM, CHICAGO READER, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, THE ONION, NEW CITY, CHICAGO INNERVIEW, CHICAGO DAILY HERALD, DAILY SOUTHTOWN, and KANE COUNTRY CHRONICLE, so we¹re expecting a nice turnout. Hope to see you there. It¹ll be a fun time, no doubt. Press links: -FLAVORPILL.COM <http://chi.flavorpill.net/mailer/issue07/index.html> ³As part of its bi-monthly Immediate Action residency at Sonotheque, Chicago-based label Hefty is literally cramming the club with talent, fitting a full five-piece band into the cozy bar. L'altra, the band in question, expands upon the languid and organic style of electronics that has become Hefty's trademark, taking a sharp turn toward pop; male/female vocal duo Joe Costa and Lindsay Anderson don't so much sing as gently purr over the relaxed beats. A rare appearance by Retina.it , an Italian group that specializes in minimal dance music, helps round out the lineup, along with DJ sets from Slicker and Joshua Eustis of Hefty heavyweight act Telefon Tel Aviv ³ (PS) -CHICAGO TRIBUNE <http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/custom/friday/chi-0410290386oct 29,1,2058103.story> -CHICAGO INNERVIEW <http://www.chicagoinnerview.com/archives/nov04_slicker.htm>
