Deerhunter Coming to Chicago, But Where?

Levi’s and Urban Outfitters have teamed up to present the Secret Generator Series, a concert series that will bring free shows powered by generators to secret locations in two cities. Image clues revealed Friday that Chicago is one of those lucky cities and will host a show by Atlanta-based psych-rockers Deerhunter this Saturday, September 25. (Boston is the other city in this series and will host a show by Neon Indian October 3.)

The secret now is where exactly the show will take place. All we know for sure is that it will be in an unusual location and, because it’s powered by generators, it can pop up pretty much anywhere. The precise location will be announced 48 hours before the show, but in the meantime UO is dropping image clues on their Secret Generator Series blog. Monday and Tuesday's clues are photos of obscure portions of the undisclosed venue, and honestly, we’re still stumped. [Ed. note: though it appears others seem to think they've cracked the puzzle.] Take a crack at it yourself and let us know what you think.

Deerhunter will deliver this free show just days before the release of their new album, Halcyon Digest. We’re hoping that means Chicago will get to experience some of this new material live and in advance of the album’s follow-up tour, which kicks off Oct 1 and makes its way back to Chicago October 22. While waiting for the details of the secret show to unfold, mosey on over to NPR where they’re streaming the album free in its entirety until it’s September 28 release date.
