Overview

About

Founded in 2012 in Chicago as a tribute to Jamie Duffy, a sound engineer and musician from the local scene, Cold Waves has grown into a gathering for industrial and electronic music rooted in the legacy of Wax Trax! Records. Shows are held at the Metro and the Bottom Lounge, two long-standing venues in the Wrigleyville neighborhood, and proceeds go to suicide prevention charities.
