                            The Chicago Shows List
             Hey, you would scream too if alls ya had was a skull!
                          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.

 Please mail to shows@farpost.chi.il.us:

 There are many other shows lists available on the Internet.  As far as I
 know, unless the address is "listproc" or "listserv", the list is run by a
 human, not an automated list-management program.
