In a previous post,I blogged about Metro-Smartbar as a great venue for watching local based DJs and bands in an environment that is not pretentious and easy on your budget. This time around, there will be two great DJs spinning at Metro Smartbar on February 28th-Dj Colette and Dj Heather,who are also part of OM records.
DJ Colette's hit "Feeling Hypnotized" has been featured in Motorola Commercials and has landed her on the "Devil Wears Prada" soundtrack. DJ Heather is also a local based DJ who will be joining DJ Colette for a night of great House music. I can't get enough of these two. Their soulful tracks and smooth beats will keep you dancing all night long. These women will also be participating at the Winter Music Conference to take place in March, a huge event that takes place in Miami that attracts DJs from all over the world including great DJs such as Tiesto and Fat Boy Slim just to name a few. It's a huge honor to participate in this event.
Tickets for Dj Colette and Dj Heather are $10 dollars before midnight and $15 after-for these two it is so worth it and practically a steal if you ask me. This is what I love about Metro Smartbar. Metro Smartbar is a place where local based musicians return and do great live shows at an unbeatable cost. It is not pretentious at all and no specific dress code necessary.
I am going to do my best to go to this show, hopefully my calendar will be clear enough that I will be able to make it. I went to see DJ Kaskade, another great local based DJ last February at Metro Smartbar and I had a great time. If you are in the area or happening to be traveling in Chicago that weekend, stop on over, should be a good time. Also,this is a great way to 1)support Chicago based artists and 2) support women in music,especially in the house music scene,which can be pretty competitive since it mainly consists of men.
Metro Smartbar is located at 3730 N. Clark St (two blocks North of Wrigley Field).
Show starts at 10PM.
