Shows of note as of 7/6/95 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE JAZZ RECORDS I have a few hundred jazz records that I've inherited, and they're only cluttering up my living room. I'm looking to give them away. I'm giving Shows List readers first crack at them. If you're interested, email me and we'll talk. I'm no jazz expert, so I couldn't tell you what sub-genres are in there. Just email me and we'll go from there. PANSY DIVISION AT FIRESIDE They ain't gonna be there. They'll be at Off The Alley on the 9th and Metro on the 14th. ANOTHER UFO DATE UFO added another show at the Vic. I'm there for this one. ALPINE VALLEY INFO, PLEASE I missed mentioning the Black Sabbath / Motorhead show on Saturday at Alpine Valley until today. Can anyone give me other dates for Alpine Valley? I'm sure they're having more shows than the three listed in this week's list. UNDERDOG LOFT PARTY The only band playing the Underdog Loft party will be No Empathy, but go anyway. I'm not wearing a dress to this one, though. SUBSCRIPTIONS & CORRESPONDENCE Mail to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found us.
