    Chic-A-Go-Go,  “Chicago’s Dance Show for Kids of All Ages”, is a legendary Chicago institution, an inclusive venue for musicians and dance moves since the first taping in 1996. Created by Jake Austen and Jacqueline Stewart, Chic-A-Go-Go has and continues to invite multi-generational groovers into the worlds of contemporary weirdo music and the unrehearsed freedom of public access television. Shot at CAN TV, Chicago’s public access television studio, a trip to a Chic-A-Go-Go taping might include encounters with world famous talking vermin Ratso and Li’l Ratzo, co-host Miss Mia, and any number of traveling musicians including Lemmy, Bobby Conn, TV on the Radio, Sonic Youth, Patti Smith, Sky Ferreira, Wesley Willis, and GZA.

    Chic-A-Go-Go makes unique twists on television forms inherited from shows like Soul Train, and Chicago’s own Kiddie-a-Go-Go, featuring lip syncing and an “El Train Line” segment to show off individual moves. ACRE TV is proud to host a marathon of selections from the more than 1,000 episodes logged, including some rarely seen, newly digitized, blasts from the past.
