The Chicago Shows List
Your tank colors blend perfectly with our property
Shows of note as of 6/22/95
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANDY RECOMMENDS
Next Saturday, July 1, there's a big ska show in lovely NW-suburban
Cary. Mike, the guy putting it on, is risking losing his shirt for the
3rd time in an attempt to bring music to the benighted boonies. The
show starts at 4:00, and will probably be over by 7:00 or so, so you
can still see the Indicators or Vic Vacume.
UFO
UFO are coming, with Schenker, Mogg and Way. Too bad they're not
playing the Amphitheater...
THE ULTIMATE HAS-BEEN FEST
I can't tell you how much this makes me laugh: Foreigner, Alan
Parsons, Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas, Eric Burdon and Mickey Thomas's
Starship at a 3-day fest at clothing-optional Turtle Lake Resort in
Michigan. "You will encounter nude sunbathing and skinnydippers while
at the resort. Join the fun!" 1-800-480-7004 for info.
HORDE FESTIVAL
Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am for the HORDE thing. Yawn.
WORST BAND NAME
I finally saw Galaxy Of Mailbox Whores tonight (Hi, Dave!), and was
impressed. I always groaned when I saw them listed because their name
sucks. Luckily for them, there's a worse one in this week's list:
Lowest Common Denominator.
