Dark Canyon (LP release) with Brokeback

Showtime: 8:00PM

Tickets: Advanced - $20 | Day of Show - $25

About Dark Canyon:

Continuing the legacy of the spaghetti west, DARK CANYON presents a new vinyl release titled Long Days, Pleasant Nights. Inspired heavily by Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, LDPN has been conceived as a metaphysical western - a spacious exploration of grainy western landscapes. From delay swells to haunting pedal steel, mellotron passages to hypnotic percusion, you just may find yourself transported to a spring reverb soaked ghost town.

About Brokeback:

Brokeback began in 1995 as a solo performance outlet for Douglas McCombs. At the time McCombs’ bands Eleventh Dream Day and Tortoise had both achieved a level of sonic density that left him wanting to perform something quieter and more delicate. Some called Brokeback “ambient”. That is a stretch, but it did have a lot of space and was based around fairly simple melodies played on the Fender Bass VI. Over the years McCombs collaborated with a variety of people and the membership of Brokeback expanded or contracted, depending. This has led to the current line up, a democratically organized outfit consisting of Pete Croke on bass, James Elkington on guitar and Areif Sless-Kitain on drums along with Douglas McCombs on guitar and occasionally- the Fender Bass VI. This is a rock band but the emphasis still skews towards the quiet restraint that was the initial intent.

Shadow Puppetz Presents: Devil's in the Details

Date: Saturday, September 20th, 2025

Doors & Showtime: 1:00PM

Tickets: General Admission - $40 | VIP - $75 (Reserved seat with optimal viewing of the battles and performances)

About:

Join us for Devil’s in the Details, Chicago’s inaugural two-day robot and animation dance festival. Featuring live music, art, dance workshops, technology demonstrations, a showcase competition, and a head-to-head dance battle with a unique twist, Devil’s in the Details reimagines how robot and animation dance is presented through a fresh multidisciplinary approach.

Highlights:

● 1v1 Robot & Animation Dance Battle: Battles are head-to-head competitions where dancers freestyle to random music by a live DJ. Devil’s in the Details combines this with a unique twist where the Top 16 dancers will freestyle to specific concepts that demonstrate an in-depth knowledge and creative exploration of robot and animation dance.

● Busking-Inspired Showcase Competition: Robot and animation dance are rooted in busking, also known as street performance. Devil’s in the Details reimagines this tradition in an invitational showcase style competition. Spectators will be invited to participate by voting for their favorite performance through a ticket-in-the-hat system.

● Dance Workshops and Tech Demos: The pioneers of robot and animation dance created these styles by emulating the technology of their time. Devil’s in the Details blends dance education with technological insight in workshops and tech demos designed to show dancers how to explore and generate their own movement inspired by first hand reference material, rather than merely emulating the movement of other dancers.

Devil’s in the Details will take place on Saturday, September 20, 2025 in The Sanctuary at Epiphany Center for the Arts. Doors open at 2 PM, prelims for the 1v1 battle will begin at 3 PM, and the main event will begin at 5 PM.
