"Jandek to Play Adventures in Modern Music Festival 

The fourth annual Adventures in Modern Music Festival is 
headed to Chicago once again, taking place September 20-24 at 
the Empty Bottle (where, like, every good show in the city 
happens). Sponsored by The Wire magazine, the fest applies 
the word "modern" rather loosely (most of the participating 
acts have been recording for awhile...some for decades) but 
does promise a range of aural "adventures." The highlight of 
this year's lineup is international man of mystery Jandek, 
making his Chicago debut. Jandek was supposed to perform at 
last year's fest, but Hurricane Rita spoiled his travel 
plans. 

Other performers include art rockers Kayo Dot, earthy rockers 
Badgerlore, rap scientist Edan, free jazz masters Hamid Drake 
and William Parker, and pioneering trumpeter/guitarist Rhys 
Chatham.

As a continuation of our "What sounds like Jandek?" forum, 
I'd like to add that fans of Jandek would probably like Kayo 
Dot and Yellow Swans. Much louder, but the same unnerving 
feeling. Now let's hope against hurricanes...
