Pittsburgh-based experimental outfit Black Moth Super Rainbow brought their distinctive music to Chicago's Jay Pritzker Pavillion in Millenium Park. The free event was part of the Edible Audible Picnic, one of Chicago's many musical events this summer. The city has pretty much two months of good weather in a given year, which Chicago milks for all its worth by piling on the free music and festivities.
This may not have been the ideal gig for Black Moth Super Rainbow, being that their music is obviously targeted toward an audience a little less sober than the one yesterday. Still, they made the best of the noon time set. Plus, the lack of trippy lights, a staple at BMSR shows, was compensated for by the venue (shown below), an other-wordly, futuristic theater designed by Frank Ghery. The design of the theater certainly complemented their surrealistic sound.
