Paisley Babylon Live Shows

Paisley-Babylon-Transistor-

Paisley Babylon performs live at Transistor at 5045 N. Clark Street in Chicago. This performance, as the flyer indicates, features five turntables, five echo boxes, multi-media madness on video screens, it’s a total sensory barrage. The show is called Beautiful Chaos and definitely lives up to its name.

Those who have heard advance demos of this show seem particularly impressed by the sounds of Roddy McDowall reading H.P. Lovecraft mashed up with the voices of Genesis P. Orridge, breaks from Coil and Gary Clail, plus a bewildering assortment of Isaac Hayes, Italian disco, Chicago industrial, children’s records and ominous rumblings from a live mashed-up collection of Turntabling Records artists. It’s a turntabling freakshow–all vinyl, all mad.

Transistor is Chicago’s hippest, newest indie record store with an amazing collection of art, electronics and vinyl records among many other music-related material. Come for the Paisley Babylon but make sure you check out the merch here–this is one HELL of a store. Very hip, modern and plugged in to what’s what. Paisley Babylon definitely shops at Transistor and believes you should too.
