Tomorrow night I’ll be taking part in the Hideout Holiday Sale, selling fine art photographic prints alongside many other very talented artists, listed below. Come on by and have a drink; even if you don’t have a lot of money to spend on art, there will be a bevy of first rate people to mingle with, and I’ll be there too.

I shot the picture above on Maxwell Street not long before it was completely wiped out.

Friday photo exhibit: 15 years of life at the Hideout

newberry — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:30:20 +0000

UPDATE: Here’s a link to the interview. Thanks to Alison Cuddy for having me on the show, and to Andrea Jablonski, the hardworking curator of the exhibit.

This Friday I’m participating in an exhibit with 9 other photographers. We’re showing photographs depicting life at Chicago’s greatest music venue, the Hideout. I’ll be on WBEZ’s Eight Forty-Eight tomorrow morning discussing my pictures for this show.

Above is a portrait of Shellac‘s comely drummer and flower arranger, Todd Trainer. I shot it at the Touch and Go 25th Anniversary concert, which was hosted by the Hideout.

The show is called Scrapbook, and here’s the info:

Jon Langford and Tim Tuten

newberry — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 22:51:23 +0000

Two swell dudes; the prolific musician (Mekons, Waco Brothers, Skull Orchard), visual artist, and self-styled fat Welsh bastard Jon Langford with Hideout impresario and US Department of Education staff member Tim Tuten. The duo was carousing at the Hideout last weekend at a birthday celebration for the inimitable Sheila Sachs.

Bobby Conn: Thursday at the Hideout

newberry — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 05:21:46 +0000

One of my favorite people to photograph, Bobby Conn, is playing this Thursday at Chicago’s awesomest music venue, the Hideout. I shot the top picture last September, in Conn’s front yard; I took the bottom one in 2006 on the set of a Bobby Conn music video directed by Usama Alshaibi.

I had a great time at the Mad Decent Block Party Saturday (hosted by the Hideout), shooting for the Reader‘s Photo Pit (due out Thursday). This shot of Maluca crowd surfing is really an outtake, but I noticed something funny going on in the background. There were 30 million cameras in play at any given time, so I guess it’s no surprise that this happened. Panty cannon pics forthcoming.

Lawrence Peters benefit/Fall tribute this Saturday

newberry — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:00:27 +0000

!@#$%!

New look for The Fall

UPDATE: Derek Erdman will be spinning from his vast collection of Fall records.

Last night I shot these pictures of Lawrence Peters, a contender for the Hardest Working Man in Show Business title (since the G.O.S. has left the planet), who has broken his heel and badly needs some dough to get it fixed and cover other related expenses. There’s a benefit this Saturday at The Hideout . Here’s the lowdown:

Saturday, September 19th, 9 to 11:30pm
The Hideout- 1354 W. Wabansia
A Tribute to the Fall
+ Benefit for Lawrence Peters (Lawrence Peters Outfit, Plastic Crimewave Sound, Velcro Lewis Group, Golden Horse Ranch Band, Mar Caribe, Hardscrabble…)
An evening filled with the brilliant music of The Fall as interpreted by local luminaries The Thin Man, Grimble Grumble, Plastic Crimewave Sound, Blasted Diplomats, Dorian Taj, Bleary, Punk Band, and Pritchard. Proceeds will go to Lawrence Peters to cover the many, and surprising expenses of a broken heel (medical bills, living expenses, rehabilitation, medicine, and lots of lost income). Come on out and support this local musical stalwart/ Hideout bartender/ music booker….
A raffle will be held for a print by Jim Newberry, posters by Bob Hartzell, and possible other goods. $8 admission. Don’t miss out!

The Eternals & On You: Saturday at The Hideout

newberry — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:37:20 +0000

This Saturday at the Hideout, be sure not to miss The Eternals with On You. Below, a live shot of dynamic Eternals vocalist Damon Locks, and a publicity photo of On You’s Stan Wood and Jamie Drier (it was Stan and Jamie’s inspired idea to parody Annie Leibovitz’s John and Yoko Rolling Stone cover).

In Chicago we’re partying like it’s 1993

newberry — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 06:14:22 +0000

Chicago music fans: remember the early nineties, when music industry douches decided Wicker Park was “one of the more buzz-oriented cities,” and Billboard magazine published a map of the neighborhood on their cover, dubbing it “Cutting Edge’s New Capital?” When Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville and Urge Overkill’s Saturation were released? When Sub Pop put out Red Red Meat’s second album, Jimmywine Majestic? In a 1994 NYT article on the indie rock “alternative” rock mecca that was said to be Wicker Park, Red Red Meat’s Tim Rutili succinctly put things in perspective:

“Everybody is worried about Wicker Park being made out to be some kind of Disneyland, when it’s just a dumb neighborhood with a lot of bad artists.”

Mr. Rutili said: “This is not Paris in the 20′s. It’s really not.”

I can’t remember, did Steve Albini have an opinion on any of this?

Anyhow, for you young kids that missed 1993 the first time, it’s back! You had your chance to see Phair perform the entire Exile album live in Chicago last week; this Thursday Red Red Meat is reuniting (!!) at The Hideout; and Saturday, Urge Overkill has a gig at the Bottom Lounge.

In this post I reminisced about the first concert I shot–a Sly Stone show. My first record cover was UO’s Lineman single, their first release on Touch and Go.

Here’s a snapshot of a chrome I shot of Red Red Meat in 1996.

Here’s a publicity shot I took of Ms. Phair, made while she was recording Whitechocolatespaceegg:

I sure miss the Busy Bee!
