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. LOLLAPALOOZER TICKETS Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am. Also, the second stage lineup is down in the listings.
