The Chicago Shows List
Coolio, are you going to eat those grapes?
Shows of note as of 8/3/95
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW MUCH UFO CAN ONE CITY TAKE?
A fourth UFO show has been added, PLUS they're doing an in-store
meet'n'greet at Rolling Stones Records. I can't imagine they'll
actually perform.
FIRESIDE SPRINGS A LEAK
Wednesday night, in the heavy rain, Fireside's ceiling started leaking
all over the PA and Six Finger Satellite's gear, and they had to cancel
that night's show. I called Brian and he said that shows are still
going on. Me, I'd call first the night of the show.
FREEFEST & NORTH HALSTED DAYS
The entire dang Freefest and North Halsted Market Days schedules are in
this week's list. Somebody better go, or I'll have typed up 100 bands
for nothin'. The bands do not appear in "NEW THIS WEEK", so you'll
have to read the schedule yourself. There are some pretty big name
bands in there: Poster Children, Better Than Ezra, Big Audio Dynamite,
Smoothies, Blue Meanies
The Freefest flyers also trumpet a "special mystery band performance",
but not on a given day, time, or who it is.
SOUL ASYLUM MOVED
The big Soul Asylum show at the World is now at the Aragroin Ballroom.
