Bobby Conn - Bobby’s Place (Side One) EP (2025) Hi-Res

Welcome to Bobby’s Place, the new split personality album from long time musical mischief maker and cultural provocateur Bobby Conn!

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.
Side A finds Bobby living in a tent somewhere on the astral plane surrounded by synthesizers, woodwinds, hand drums and a pulsating psychedelic fog. Planet Earth and the temporal plane are only faintly visible in the distance.
Side One finds Bobby starring in an alternative reality workplace sitcom also called Bobby’s Place. In each episode Bobby starts a new small business, like a restaurant or a nail salon, with a team of puppets, but the business inevitably fails and ends in bankruptcy by the end of the show. But no matter, Bobby can’t stop, and the six tightly arranged glam rock tunes on Side One are proof.
Essentially, each side exists as an independent conception - which side to play first? There is no answer, they are equally the best entry into Bobby’s Place.
