The Chicago Shows List
with juicy bits of orange
Shows of note as of 6/29/95
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANDY RECOMMENDS
Sat: The big ska show in Cary; Vic Vacume that night
Sun: Shellac etc. at the Fallout Club
Mon: Shellac, again, although I'll be going to Those Darn Accordions!
Tue: Bollweevils etc., at Metro, in what may be the final 'weevils show
THE METHADONES
The Methadones show at Czar Bar is now 7/15, not 7/22.
METALMANIA
I picked up the wrong flyer for Metalmania IX. It only lists the top
10 bands each night. Next week I'll get the full-blown list. If you
want to get tickets by USmail, email me and I'll send you the info.
MORE UFO
A List reader says that there will be a 2nd UFO show at the Vic, but so
far, it hasn't been advertised.
