NEON MARSHMALLOW FEST begins TODAY!

Could this be the fate of the Empty Bottle's disco ball by the end of the weekend?

If you know the ins-and-outs of the Chicago music scene, then surely you know about Acid Marshmallow.

Whether it be the hundreds of videos he has up on his site, or the tireless dedication he spends updating his local and diy show list just so you can easily pick and choose what you want to do, Acid Marshmallow have been providing entertainment for years.

You probably also know they hold a music fest with NEON BLOSSOM, and this year's fest is spectacular :

Dead Ghosts :



slushy opened. colleen green and her lady friend gave everyone the sunglasses'd doe-eyes, tyler jon tyler, 2/3 in the same shirt, showed you why tyler jon tyler still fucking kill a lot of pathetic attempts at pop music, and dead ghosts, not surprisingly finally got a half-way raucous whoop from the overly tired 20 people in attendance. as someone who, upon entering hallowed ground that night only to all but lay on the couch and finish a bottle of cognac for the strength to stand, it was the kind of evening where relatively chilled vibes ran throughout. that just meant there was more room when you wanted to get decked by some of dead ghosts bass lines. playing permanent the day before, then milwaukee, they sent their noise everywhere.
