[DID NOT ATTEND: October 11, 2022] Sudan Archives / Lulu Be
The last show that I’m aware of that went on before the pandemic shut everything down was this Sudan Archives show at Johnny Brenda’s. A friend of mine went to this show (she had gotten tickets early) and said that so few people had actually shown up to this sold out show that they were letting people buy tickets at the door.
Two and a half years later, I finally got my chance to see Sudan Archives. But I wound up having tickets to shows every single night this week and I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it all. So something had to give.
Sudan Archives’ shows have become pretty crazy in the last couple years as I understand it–much more aggressive and in your face. It sounded like a fun time. But sometimes, when I’m on the fence, I listen to a band’s opening act to judge the vibe of the night.
Lulu Be is a Chicago rapper and I wasn’t really feeling it. And World Cafe Live is kind of a pain in the ass venue. So this show was blown off.
Now if it had been Cartel Madras again, I wouldn’t have missed it.
