im going to have to say that nowhere in chicago really draws for chip gigs (or most types of electronic music, for that matter)...not saying it cant happen, but id say its unrealistic to expect more than 20 or so attendees for a chip gig in chicago... think the most ive seen was around 50 at an all-chip gig... think more people were at the night of gli.tc/h that minusbaby & nullsleep played, but that was roughly half gig, half loft party and they werent charging at the door

edit: also, why do gigs need names?

What you're saying doesn't give me much hope for a larger venue, but I do think that a chiptune scene can grow in Chicago. I'm starting to think that maybe I should get a show together at the Enemy, the loft/venue used to host the Gli.tc/h show, and get a bunch of local acts from around the midwest. If we're lucky we can draw a similar size crowd and maybe turn it into a monthly/bimonthly show if it's a success. Over time we can get larger crowds and work up to a larger venue. They're probably not gonna charge any or much money so they're isn't much to lose other than our time.

how about we stop caring about how many people we can get to come out and just play?

i dont think we are selling ourselves short by keeping expectations low for turnout, you gotta start somewhere you know? if everyone who said they will play does, than at least we have the peace of mind that we're all playing for people who appreciate and love the music.

its not going to start at the subterranean for sure, but i have heard of plenty of house venues (mostly in logan square where my friends are at) that might be a good starting point.

we havent played a single gig with a chip band in the midwest yet and i would definitely like to change that if i can.
