Bitching In the Key of Life

Everybody sing: The weather is terrible! There are too many drunk Iowans! Rex Grossman sucks!
International artists Tellervo Kalleinen (Finland) and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen (Germany) are extending an invitation to all Chicagoans to complain about any topic they like and to sing their complaints out loud with fellow complainers.
People may submit complaints and register to participate by visiting Smog Veil Records online at SmogVeil.com or by emailing complaintschoir@yahoo.com. All of the participants, along with Chicago-based musician and conductor Jeremy Jacobsen, will write the song together.  This process will be realized in a workshop consisting of five rehearsals (Oct.16-­Nov. 2).
The premiere performance will take place at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art on Nov.3.
The first Complaints Choir performance took place in Birmingham, England two years ago and since then Complaints Choirs have sung in  Helsinki, Hamburg and St. Petersburg.
Smog Veil Records, in collaboration with the artists and the Danish production company Fine & Mellow are working on a documentary film of the project which will debut in 2009.
