Red Bull Sound Select, a nationwide live music program that matches up big touring names with local artists, comes to Chicago for the third time on Saturday. Leaning towards punk and more experimental acts, Red Bull’s previous Chicago stops included sets from synthy indie-pop band Metric and electronic ambient artist Tim Hecker. This time around, the energy drink giants bring San Diego instrumental trio Earthless to the Empty Bottle—their first visit to Chicago since 2009.
Red Bull is also welcoming Arizona’s Destruction Unit, who play a lo-fi, noisy punk rock. The locals on this bill are avant-garde heavy metal act Yakuza and noise-punk trio Running. You can get into the show for $5 if you RSVP on the Red Bull website. If you miss that chance, tickets only go up to $8. The show starts at 9 PM, and as usual with Bottle shows, is 21+.
