A Weekend From Your Weekend
The Week In Preview There’s too much going on this weekend. Yeah, we said it. Some people were downtown at 6:30 this morning for the Blackhawks’ championship parade, and that’s before hooligans can disperse to Blues Fest, the Cubs/Sox series at Wrigley, and street fests including Old Town Art Fair, Lincoln Square Ribfest, Andersonville Midsummer […]
Pleasure Or Pain?
Thursday, June 10th We have no idea what the town will look like tomorrow. Maybe we’ll be covered in the blood-red water of Daley Plaza. Maybe nervousness will be pervasive. Our heads will hurt. But the shows go on.
Blues Fest Periphery
The city’s annual celebration has never been limited to Grant Park, and often the most memorable sets happen in the surrounding venues.
What Final?

Coheed And Cambria preview
Congress Theatre, Chicago Friday, May 14, 2010 I used to think Coheed And Cambria were the J.R.R. Tolkien of bands, but it turns out they’re really George Lucas.
Plants & Animals preview
Lincoln Hall, Chicago Saturday, May 15, 2010 The faces of anger in rock ‘n’ roll are legion — polemics, posturing, and power chords among them — but for their second album, Plants & Animals go with passive aggressive.
Turin Brakes preview
Lincoln Hall, Chicago Tuesday, May 18, 2010 Like that awful joke about large people and mopeds, Turin Brakes are great to sing along to until your friends pop in.
Little Brother farewell!
Double Door, Chicago Wednesday, May 19, 2010 As disappointing as Little Brother’s impending break-up may be, this revered, North Carolinan hip-hop duo is not going out on a bad note with its final album LeftBack — they just know when to call it quits.
Frightened Rabbit preview
Metro, Chicago Friday, May 8, 2010 Few British bands hit the American tour circuit as hard as Frightened Rabbit did following 2008’s impressive The Midnight Organ Fight. Now’s when we find out if it paid off.
Converge preview
Bottom Lounge, Chicago Sunday, May 9, 2010 Hardcore seems increasingly ghettoized lately, though Converge’s Axe To Fall (Epitaph) made a lot of people sit up last year.
