The inaugural podcast of the Empty Bottle, Chicago's legendary indie venue, features an interview with yours truly in my capacity as manager of Red Chamber. In case you haven't caught wind of them yet, Red Chamber is an ensemble of masked players and dancers who throw down the Asian surf sounds of yesteryear.

The interview was done shortly before the band took the Bottle stage on Feb 1. In the words of co-hosts Fred and Gabe, "They're wrapped in a shroud of mystery and tight musicianship... Man, these guys are crazy. It was an insane show... Not many bands playing right now that are that tight."

You can listen to the entire podcast, which features music by Test Icicles, Plastic Crimewave Sound, Field Music and Mogwai, or just catch the 11-minute Red Chamber segment. Big thanks to the Bottle, Gabe and Fred for the show and interview!
