WiscoJazz

My good friend DEREK FOREAL and his Detroit cohort ERIC SUTTER are hosting what looks to be an extremely cool show this coming Saturday in Chicago. It’s an afterbar for the North Coast Music Festival that is happening all weekend in Chicago at Union Park. The spot is at what could be more of a frequent party spot – The Juicy Wine Company.

Here’s an official excerpt from the Facebook Event page:

Disfresh & Maximal’s monthly brand [something clever] is making a stop in Chicago for the festival! [something clever] has hosted a presentable roster of talent over the last year. Get a taste in Chicago!

Come check out [something clever] for some juicy jamz at the Juicy Wine Company, complete with an open air rooftop patio! For this installment, we welcome our guest and good friend from Milwaukee…

- Lukewarm (Milwaukee – Wisco…Jazz)
It’s a privilege to finally host one of Milwaukee’s most respected musical entrepreneurs here in Chicago at our first windy city installment of the [something clever] series. A world-class selector, dj, and human being, Luke is the backbone of one of Brew City’s longest running and most celebrated nights of dance music, WiscoJazz Fridays at the Highbury. Having played host to and played alongside some of the best in the business, we now turn the stage over to one of our favorite djs for a night of musical bliss and versatility. Check out his websites for more info: http://www.wiscojazz.com/ or http://djlukewarm.podomatic.com/.

Be sure to grab Luke’s latest musical masterpiece from his podomatic site, a guest mix he did for the revered Hidden Cove podcast out of San Francisco.

Opening selections by residents:

- Derek Foreal (Chicago – Disfresh)
- Sutter (Detroit – Disfresh)

This promises to be a great night filled with good music and good people. If you’re in the Chicago Area stop out!

If you haven’t heard, there’s a new player in town: SCHLABST. Essentially, it’s just Schlitz and Pabst mixed together. But it’s so much more than that. It’s Milwaukee’s Black & Tan, and the fever is taking the Highbury by storm. Be sure to stop out to The Highbury this FRIDAY for SCHLABSTFEST 2010! Here’s the breakdown for Fridays festivities:

5pm to 7pm: Schlappy Hour! $2 Schlabst for all, and Bozo Buckets, Schlabst Style.
7pm to 10pm: Schlabst Blind Taste Test. $15 includes T-Shirt, Schlabst and Tasting
8pm: Schlabst chugging contest
10pm to Close: DJ Lukewarm does his thing for WiscoJazz Fridays, Sponsored by Schlabst

That’s right. I’m djing all night Friday, which has been a long time coming. I have loads of music in store as always, but I’ll be centering more around “party” this Friday. Polka, Funk, yeah the good stuff. So stop out and say hello! It’s WiscoJazz Fridays @ The Highbury. Always Free. Always Fun.

Come Sunday if you still have some energy left, stop out to Hot Water/The Wherehouse in the early evening. I’ll be spinning for my guy Alex’s company’s launch party – MAMA’S EGGROLLS. More event info can be found here: (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=136813686352148&ref=ts). These egg rolls are the bomb, and there’ll be plenty of them this Sunday. So stop out! I’m playing early at 7:30. Lots of egg roll eatin music in store

Enjoy the rest of August!
