Stereolab played Chicago’s Riviera Theatre w/ Fievel is Glauque (pics, setlist, video)

Stereolab are in the midst of their 2022 North American tour that has them out with American/Belgian duo Fievel is Glauque. That hit Chicago on Thursday night (9/29) at The Riviera Theatre, and photos by Christian Heinzel are in this post.

Setlists on Stereolab's tour have been heavy on deep cuts and Chicago was no different, with a few "hits" — "French Disko," "Miss Modular," "Pack Yr Romantic Mind," and "The Free Design" — sprinkled in among more esoteric selections, like the full 17-minute version of Dots and Loops' "Refractions in the Plastic Pulse," "Supah Jaianto" and "The Man With 100 Cells." Check out more pics, the setlist and fan-shot video of "Refractions in the Plastic Pulse," below.

Stereolab and Fievel is Glauque hit NYC next month for two nights at Brooklyn Steel on October 10 & 11.
