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.
