UPDATE: RSVP slots for the CHIRP Record Crawl are SOLD OUT! You still can join in the crawl, but you most likely won’t be able to get a special discount badge. Also important for those of you who have RSVPed — you must be on hand by 11AM to claim your “golden ticket” badge. If you haven’t claimed your badge by 11:15AM, we’ll give unclaimed badges to others who are present. Thanks for your help on this!
This Sunday, CHIRP and friends will spend the afternoon shopping a specially curated route of record stores. Follow our twitter to find out where the crawlers are!
START 11am: Atomix Coffee Shop, 1957 W Chicago Ave
Get your badge and enjoy some coffee at 10% off!

Please join CHIRP for a free screening of “Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre On Tour!”
Tonight at 8pm, the Bottom Lounge will host this exciting event — DJs Pippi Redstocking and Lucy Flawless will spin before and after the screening, and local feminist organizations Girls Rock! Chicago, Chicago Women’s Health Center and Planned Parenthood Illinois will be there with information on hand. The film will be screened at 8:45pm.
WHO TOOK THE BOMP? LE TIGRE ON TOUR follows iconic feminist electronic band Le Tigre on their 2004-2005 international tour across four continents and through ten countries. Supported by a community of devoted fans and led by outspoken Riot Grrrl pioneer Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill), Le Tigre confronts sexism and homophobia in the music industry while tearing up the stage via performance art poetics, no-holds-barred lyrics, punk rock ethos, and whip-smart wit in this edgy and entertaining documentary. Directed by Kerthy Fix (STRANGE POWERS: STEPHIN MERRITT AND THE MAGNETIC FIELDS), WHO TOOK THE BOMP? LE TIGRE ON TOUR features never before seen live performances, archival interviews, and revealing backstage footage with these trail-blazing artists.

It’s the third Monday of the month, and that means CHIRP and the Whistler have concocted a great set of music and cocktails for you this fine evening! Tonight’s lineup stars Male and Colorlist, as well as the DJ skills of CHIRP’s own Michael Flavor. Oh, and did we mention that we’ll be raffling off passes to Pitchfork Festival? No, sir or ma’am, that ain’t a typo. It’s a total steal, if you consider that there’s no cover to get in! See you there.

Even if you’ve only got an hour or three free tonight, you’ll kick yrself later if you don’t end up going to this:
The May edition of our CHIRP-curated series features the lovely strums of Cloudbirds and the sweet croonings of Angel Olsen. Starting at 9pm tonight, stop in for free music and merriment, and buy a drink while you’re there — a portion of bar sales will benefit CHIRP! After the artists, CHIRP’s own DJ Beach Party and DJ Salinger will be spinning the finest in mid-century teen idol, lounge, and sunshine pop. As usual, we’ll be hosting a cheap raffle for some stellar prizes. Be there!
