Congrats to our fav first timer, Derek, our best dancer, Marisa, and of course, THE Ace Face of Our Way of Thinking, Doug.

Oh Vanity! “The Second Coming”

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 01:45:37 +0000

MODchicago enthusiastically endorses the second installment of Oh Vanity! as the official weekender pre-party place to be. Head to Late Bar on Wednesday, June 9, where you’ll hear the likes of the Charlatans, Northside, Stone Roses, Blur, Pulp, Doves, Happy Mondays, etc. spun by WCSC’s Kevin Jones with special guest (and weekender DJ) Dave Monroe. THIS IS A DANCE NIGHT, so do take note. We aren’t here to sit around and sip our beers, come prepared to cut a rug. Or at least twirl around in your baggy flares… cos this night, it’s gotta be a loose fit.

So if you find yourself in town on Wednesday and care to start the party a little early with a bit of Madchester, come on out – plus it’s free!

Welcome Back

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:35:07 +0000

We’ve missed you. And apparently, you missed us. MODchicago is back for 2010 with The Simple Headphone Mind, the 8th Our Way of Thinking weekender, June 10, 11, and 12.

The DJ line-up is, you guessed it, our best yet. We pride ourselves on bringing DJs to Chicago that aren’t often near these parts, giving you a premier opportunity to check out what’s happening in scenes across the States and in Europe. The MODchicago sound covers fuzzed out mod and garage rockers, street level rnb, northern pounders, psych explorations, and dancefloor favorites.

We have two new venues for 2010 as well. The Liars Club has been a local favorite for years, and we’re happy to open up Thursday night here. Two floors, great loud sound, cozy dancefloor, and super staff. We’ll be back for the record swap too. Saturday night we’ll be at the Late Bar, Chicago’s newest 5am venue. That’s right, we’ll go till 5. Owners Dave & Kristine continue to support the scene with DJs of all stripes getting a chance to spin at Late Bar.

Check out the links and watch this space as we build the site and countdown to June 10-12 for the return of OUR WAY OF THINKING!
