Nekromantix
The story of the Nekromantix began back in 1989 ; the band was founded by Kim Nekroman, who just had left the Royal Danish Navy after having lost 8 years of his life in a submarine. After two local danish shows, the band appeared on a big festival in Hamburg, Germany, only six month after their first rehearsal session. This resulted in a record deal for the first Nekromantix album : Hellbound. By that time the psychobilly scene was mainly dominated by british bands, and world-wide psycho fans welcomed the Nekromantix new and different style. The music is best described in terms like "Elvis meets the Wolfman", add punk attitude...More about Aragon Ballroom
Aragon Ballroom
The Aragon was built in 1926 by brothers Andrew and William Karzas at an exorbitant cost of two million dollars (the price of admission at the time was only 90 cents). Rumor has it the brothers designed the ballroom to dispel the belief that Chicago's dance halls served an immoral community, hoping to create an atmosphere where elegant up-and-comings could mingle in respectable surroundings. The interior resembles a Moorish castle, with a ceiling painted like a starry, Spanish sky. Golden gilt appears throughout and an extravagant grand staircase that leads to a second level provides a major focal point. Though the interior does not glitter as it did in the roaring '20s, it's still possible to glimpse the magic and magesty of this building...just pop in during office hours to take a self-guided tour or ask someone on duty to point out the best vantage points. Photographs track the ballroom's history, renovation and current events, which today lean toward big-time rock concerts, as well as salsa and blues nights.
