The
second annual installment of Noise Pop Chicago runs May 9-13 and
hosts 52 acts at seven venues throughout the city. Of course each
and every artist is equally important but just so we toot our
own horn a little bit here are a few of the headlining artists
confirmed to play: Yo La Tengo, a newly reunited Television,
Guided By Voices, Ken Vandermark, Suicide,
jazz legend Jimmy Smith, Cibo Matto, Autechre,
Neko Case, Jah Wobble and Deep Space, Anti-Pop
Consortium, Dismemberment Plan, and much, much more.
