5) A Chicago, IL USA Dark Cabaret Band (www.myspace.com/apartmentmusic)

5. Apartment was a musical project formed in Chicago in 1997. Apartment helped to pioneer part of the queer dark cabaret movement in Chicago. It was started by Christine Heinisch, now of Gamma Like Very Ultra and Caila Lipovsky. The schizoid and absurdist lyrics of Caila Lipovsky combined with the off kilter, quick change, circus like arrangements of the band and Christine Heinisch made for a strange theatrical and melodramatic experience. The band played amongst the art punk and burlesque scenes of Chicago's north side and thrived there for several years.

The band recorded one album, entitled The Girl is Not Right. Other recordings are slated for release.

The first EP was entitled "Apartment" and was released on Baxter Records, and includes the original recording of "Pipsqueak" The band also recorded 3 live CD's from Chicago's Hot House, Double Door and WZRD.

A factoid- the recording of "In The Night" was recorded in one take on Halloween at Chicago Recording Company. There were a couple of minutes of tape left during the recording session. James Wallace (who wrote and arranged the music for the song) talked the other members into recording it, it was never meant to be on the release of "The Girl is not Right".
