After a dozen years as Chicago's lynch-pin for dark wave and industrial festival fans every fall, the Cold Waves team has unveiled a new spring-season single-day festival-style event: SPACE ECHO. This new endeavor features a specially curated lineup with respect to FAILURE, whose groundbreaking 1996 opus Fantastic Planet reaches its 30 year milestone. Failure's entire catalog has been an inspiration to countless musicians and fans over the years, including a strong relationship with a Chicago fan-base.
To celebrate that relationship, Cold Waves Presents has built an evening of music featuring a plethora of forward-thinking acts with history and ties to Failure and the city. BARONESS, AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD, TORCHE and SHINER have all shared enduring bonds with Chicago, while SLOW MASS calls the city home. Rounding out the bill is Ipecac Recordings artist SPOTLIGHTS, Austin’s shoe-gaze heroes RINGO DEATHSTARR, and BLEARY EYED, fresh off a European tour supporting alt-rock kingpins Wednesday.
Heavy and progressive, where shoe-gaze meets metal, and the brown note finds its grace in the doom, the inaugural Chicago SPACE ECHO music fest is not to be missed.
