Hts. KofC hall Thu: The Palatine Battle Of The Bands! I'll be there! Also, recordedly, Pink Floyd's new live "Pulse" is pretty great. OBLIVION / NO EMPATHY / APOCALYPSE HOBOKEN IN DEKALB That show on Saturday at Otto's is NOT going on. It was a misprint in the Entertainer. Good thing I called, eh? BONNIE RAITT 6/18 CANCELED Bonnie Raitt's 6/18 show at Arie Crown is canceled. The 17th is on. TOM PETTY Tom Petty tickets go on sale Saturday at noon. One of the shows I had at the World is really at Alpine Valley. FIRESIDE SHOWS Those of you who go to Fireside, check the list each week, because the schedule is anything but constant. When new bands are added, they're not listed as new, but the show is marked with a plus. MUDHONEY Friday's Mudhoney show now starts at 6:30. ASS PONYS Ass Ponys canceled Lounge Ax on Saturday. Refunds at the door. PENTHOUSE PETS IN THE SHOWS LIST I'm struck by the absurdity of having a Penthouse Pet in-store appearances at Tower. How can I not put such a thing in here?
