Bobby Conn is a vocalist, songwriter, and performance artist working in Chicago. He came out of the Chicago “No-Wave” noise and performance scene in the mid-90’s but quickly developed a reputation for extravagantly excessive performances, satirically political lyrics, and experimental, electro glam art rock.

His previous studio albums include Bobby Conn (1997), Rise Up! (1998), The Golden Age (2001), The Homeland (2004), King for a Day (2007), Macaroni (2012) and Recovery (2020), as well as various singles, collaborations and compilations. He collaborates with his partner and violinist Monica BouBou, DJ and sound designer Adam “DJ LeDeuce” Greuel, longtime rhythm section Jim “Dallas” Cooper and Josh Johannpeter, as well as many talented players in the Chicago classical, jazz and improvisational scene. With Monica, he often performs as a minimalist electro duo with sequenced backing tracks, and also performs at larger events with his seven piece Superband.

Real Cool Time:
Real Cool Time is no fxed thing. It mutates. It absorbs the blood and breath of whoever stands with it — Berlin locals, lost travelers, conspirators from other corners of the map. Each incarnation is a new body.
What you’ll hear is not a setlist, but a ceremony: long-form pieces rising and collapsing, harmony and dissonance locked in a slow, delirious embrace. It’s not built to be safe. It’s built to shake you, to catch you in its teeth, and to remind you what music was before it became background noise.
