The Chicago Shows List
I stood on the porch in a tie
Shows of note as of 6/8/95
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANDY RECOMMENDS
Fri: Oblivion in some Naperville Church basement
Sat: Boris The Sprinkler / Riverdales at the Arl. 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?
