Adventures in Modern Music...and Film

Like me, you've probably already marked Wed, Sept. 22nd to Sun, Sept. 26th on your calendar for The Wire's Adventures in Mordern Music Festival at the Empty Bottle. However, if you only attend the 5 days of music at the Bottle, you're actually missing half of the event. In addition to the stellar live show line-up, the festival is also presenting underground music films at the Gene Siskel Film Center throughout the month of September. This Thursday(9/16) at the Siskel Film Center is the screening of Participation, an anthology of work by Sweden's Steina and Woody Vasulka. Since 1969, the duo have been documenting jazz performances, rock concerts and the underground activities of "illegitimate culture." On Sunday (9/19), the film center is screening a tour documentary of noise-rock heroes Lightning Bolt, titled The Power of Salad & Milkshakes. For a complete schedule of events, check out the Empty Bottle website at www.emptybottle.com. Stay tuned next week for a preview of The Wire's 5 nights of shows at the Bottle
