The Chicago Shows List
You're crazy and I'm crazy, too
Shows of note as of 05/18/95
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANDY RECOMMENDS
5/18 - The Muffs / Full / The Indicators at Lounge Ax
5/19 - Poster Children / The Smoothies at Metro
5/21 - Agent Orange / Apocalypse Hoboken at Fireside
PEARL JAM TICKETS
If you didn't get the mailing about how to get Pearl Jam tickets for
July 10, mail me ASAP. They go on sale Saturday. I don't know
anything about any other dates. Sorry.
THE PIT GETS PRESS
The PIT in Rockford was mentioned in the latest RAM, a Rockford-area
rag that makes the Illinois Entertainer look high-class. "... Epitaph
recording artists Blue Means and four other ensembles played a grand
opening last month." Apocalypse Hoboken and Oblivion labeled
"ensembles"? I guess if you have to...
AGENT ORANGE
Agent Orange will be at Fireside, not Empty Bottle, so keep yr fake IDs
at home, kids.
THE FIGHTERS' LAST SHOW
Monday, May 29th is the last Fighters show, on their 2nd anniversary.
Opening the show will be members of the Bollweevils as Rat Patrol. The
R on the flyer is a la Naked Raygun, and the set is all covers, so I
imagine it'll be all Raygun covers. Worse things could happen.
THE QUEERS AT EMPTY BOTTLE
Is it The Queers? Is it Queer? Last week the ad said The Queers.
This week it says Queer. Who can tell?
DILLO DAY AT NORTHWESTERN
The following bands are playing Dillo Day, which is next Friday and
Saturday: Uptighty / Boogie Shoes / Maceo Parker / The Toasters / From
Good Homes / Shannon Worrell / Gus / The Suede Chain / Vertical Horizon
/ The Verve Pipe
If you want more info, let me know. Otherwise, I'm not gonna bust my
ass to find more specifics.
