It has since been rescheduled for <strong>September 24-26<\/strong><strong>, 2021<\/strong> with a to be announced lineup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Founder <strong>Jason Novak<\/strong> wanted to resurrect the fan favorite weekend in this virtual model and says, \u201cRegardless of the current struggles our industry family and friends are enduring, we realize how much COLD WAVES means to so many people every September, since Jamie Duffy\u2019s passing in 2012 that inspired it all. We felt the need to do something, anything, to try and connect this passionate fan base during our \u2018lost weekend,\u2019 and we are grateful to the artists who contributed in such a dark time. Hopefully there is enough goodwill and gas in the tank left to generate some fundraising revenue for the Metro staff and Darkest Before Dawn, as we all continue to fight to save our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About COLD WAVES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>COLD WAVES is a celebration of Chicago\u2019s relationship with industrial music, the memory of a fallen brother, and a fundraiser for suicide prevention charities. In the summer of 2012, Chicago lost one of its most loved and respected sound engineers and musicians, Jamie Duffy. His work ethic and ingenuity in the local music scene was a gift to many musicians. His abrupt passing had a profound effect on the electronic and metal music families he meant so much to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In need of healing and hope, COLD WAVES brought 14 bands together for one magical night that year to raise money for Jamie\u2019s family and say goodbye. But in the end, it was more of an awakening&#8230; a rebirth&#8230; a breaking wave. The success of the show pushed the team to build it into an annual event, stretching over a weekend and moving it to Chicago&#8217;s iconic Metro.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>COLD WAVES aims to shake the pillars of heaven by collecting the bands, styles, sounds and attitudes that Jamie held dear, and cement the sound of a Chicago institution alive and well. From Wax Trax! and Medusas to Uncle Al and Chicago Trax, this is our history and our future, the melding of man, woman and machine, the sound of melody, muscle and hate, basking in the glow of attack ships on fire down the shores of Pluto.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ymlpmail9.net\/47ceeeshwakaehymhazaushagajhss\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.coldwaves.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ymlpmail9.net\/5bfbceswuaoaehymhazaushatajhss\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/coldwavesfestival<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full Programming Details Now Announced For COLD WAVES \u201cThe Lost Weekend\u201d Virtual Event Long-Running Industrial Music Festival Goes Online Sept. 18-20\u00a0 Featuring The Full Concert Performance From Fest\u2019s First Year; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41354,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,40,42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-breaking-news","category-this-just-in"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/41354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
