ANDY RECOMMENDS
Fri: Off Broadway at Cabana Beach Club: I don't know if I can call it a
"recommendation", but I'll be there anyway.
Thu: The Rocktober Record Release Party (see below)
ROCKTOBER RECORD RELEASE PARTY
June 22 is the Rocktober Record Release party at Fireside. The Goblins
and the Hideaways will have their new 7" available there, and will be
performing along with a bevy of other bands. Also, the new Rocktober
magazine, the "Midgets in Rock'n'Roll" issue, will be available.
Rocktober is one of the top 3 cool zines in existence today.
PALATINE FREE CONCERTS
I've expanded the list of free concerts at the Community Park
Amphitheater here in Palatine. It's a nice place, it's free, and it's
about 5 blocks from my house.
SUMMER FESTIVALS
Summer festival season is here, and you know what that means:
Washed-up rock'n'roll warhorses lumbering across the suburbs, often
lucky to have an actual original member.
Please help keep us here at Shows List Central apprised of any
has-beens in your area. If you see ads trumpeting, say, Foghat or A
Flock Of Seagulls at Naperville Ribfest, let me know ASAP.
SHELLAC AT FALLOUT CLUB
This week we have the full line-up of the two Shellac extravaganzas at
the Fallout Comedy Club. The show will be an all ages event, so you
youngsters no longer have an excuse to miss my other Favorite Band On
The Planet.

down in the listings.
