After he played his Life In Color show in Rosemont last night, 3lau rocked Concord Music Hall till the early morning hours. Here is the latest installment of 3lau Haus #34.

If all the hype on the internet wasn’t enough proof that Borgore’s stop in Chicago for his Buygore Show Tour was going to be at a packed Concord Music Hall, then the line halfway down the block of half- naked barely 18 year olds definitely gave it away. It’s been clear from the start that Borgore is not a role model in any shape or form. His behavior on social media also promotes behavior that I’ll never partake in BUT I do like his sound, especially his #NEWGOREORDER Album, which meant I was not going to miss this show.
The opening set of the show was Sikdope, but he was everything but sick or dope. Unfortunately to me this was a very stereotypical trap set, which made it very forgettable. I can’t even tell you one song he played and that’s fine with me. You can like Sikdope if you want, after this set I’m fine not being one.
Jauz was up second and was a very pleasant surprise. He opened up with new music, which is always fun in my opinion. Though I’ve never heard of him before he definitely won me over and I am a fan. His sound can be best described as similar to Destructo who I like a lot. Jauz had good energy which made the place come alive. Check out the clip below of his opening song, I bet you’ll be hooked on him if you haven’t been already.
Ookay was in town not too long ago at a Trinium Events show at Mojoes so it wasn’t surprising to see so many people get excited that he was part of this show. I took this chance to see what all the hype was about. He had some bright spots like his transition for “Tuesday” to “If You Like Pina Coladas” which blew my mind, mainly for the fact that he knew the track and that it worked. Ookay maintained the energy that Jauz created and definitely made the place feel like a college party, especially when he took sips form a bottle while on stage. Eventually the college party was interrupted by Officer Gore who Okay introduced.
When Borgore came on stage to an oversold Concord Music Hall that went absolutely nuts from start to finish. Borgore did exactly what I hoped, he mixed in some new songs, a lot of his #NEWGOREORDER tracks and even Nero’s “Promises” Remix by Skrillex. Most of the set exceeded my expectations but that didn’t come without typical Borgore antics that fed the ratchets, like dancing on the stripper pole. He dropped his “Space Kitten Invasion” which did not change my opinion of the song being a filler at best. It did not work and I highly doubt it will work the next time he drops it.

The show was good, and exemplified the fact that you cannot allow the crowd that artists attract to keep you from attending shows you want to see. I paid no attention to anyone besides my Squad and I had a great time. I can honestly say that trap is slowly starting to grow on me. But don’t worry it’s still on the bottom of my favorites list, but I’m starting to slowly appreciate specific sets and artist.
After our exclusive interview with Xonic, a local DJ whose stock is rising around the windy city, the WhySoChi crew headed over to Concord Music Hall for a sold out Borgeous show. That night we were treated to an opening set by Xonic, followed up by the high energy set from the Porn n Chicken Crew. LooKas was up next, dropping some trap before Borgeous himself took the stage.
It’s safe to say that the locals stole the show with their back to back sets. Xonic played to a good sized early crowd with his opening set. He dropped a few remixes of local artists while blending in some hits from Kaskade and Deadmau5. He also transcended genres; starting out safely with familiar tracks only to drop some dirty hard beats towards the end of the set.
That transitioned well for Orville Kline, Phives and Dom Brown to take over and raise the energy to a night high. If you didn’t know that the Porn N Chicken go hard and put on a hell of a show, you sure did after that performance. With Dom behind the mic spraying the crowd with whiskey and champagne, to Orville and Phives having a blast mixing tunes to their topless, pasty wearing, saw in hand ready for crotch sparks support performer; you got to experience what Porn N Chicken is all about at evilOlive every Monday. Well, almost. What happens at Porn N Chicken stays at Porn N Chicken. It was a delight when they dropped a remix of System of a Down’s Chop Suey.
Lookas was decent for a trap artist. The songs I knew I enjoyed and the ones I didn’t, left no impression on me. Trap for me is a way to fill the timeslot of a show. Though I do not hate any genre under the EDM umbrella, trap is definitely towards the bottom of my list and it takes a really good artist that mixes in some good 90’s tunes to get my approval. It’s getting old hearing “No Flex Zone” and “CoCo”.
Borgeous came on to a packed Concord Music Hall, with a long and loud cheer from the crowd. He started his anticipated set with his hit “Tsunami” Feat. Dvbbs. The place went nuts, especially when the main melody kicked in everyone jumped and sang along. A definite highlight had to be when Borgeous dropped his upcoming single “They Don’t Know Us” in sync with a confetti drop. The crowd reacted well to that combo. The only downside was, I felt that “Tsunami” or at least the main rhythm part seemed to be dropped throughout the entire set. It could just be me, or it could be the fact that this set was livestreamed on Sirius XM’s Electric Area, so Borgeous felt the need to keep his best known track playing for the livestream. Regardless the set was good.
