Elate restaurant in Chicago's River North neighborhood, is taking its eco-friendly philosophy to new heights, on Thursdays, by re-inventing itself as the Steampunk center of Chicago. Elate will be the scene of Steampunk Thursdays. Imagine a world planted in the Victorian era, where steam has become the foremost source of energy and Victorian design and fashion ideas rule. Now imagine that one hundred years later (i.e., today), Victorian sensibility still rules and modern technology has blended with modern rock, techno and jazz music. That's what Steampunk Thursdays are all about. Elate will welcome local singer/songwriter and rock icon Graham Czach, along with his band the Time Machines. The band will perform sets at 9:30 p.m., 10:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. The high energy music, great for dancing or simply listening and enjoying, is the band's innovative sound where vintage jazz meets modern techno and hip hop. The Steampunk philosophy is about sight as well as sound, so put on your best Steampunk fashions and strut down the aisles of this cool restaurant and bar. If you're in the know about Steampunk, you'll love it at Elate on Thursdays.
