Galaxy of Mailbox Whores at Empty Bottle late. Sat: No Empathy / Oblivion / Apocalypse Hoboken at Fireside. Sun: Jamiroquai at Metro (Actually, I'm just going on a friend's rabid recommendation.) TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Tell all your friends, and even some enemies, about the Shows List: the more the merrier. All they have to do is mail me. BUT, please ask them to mention that they heard about it from you (as opposed to seeing it on the web, or seeing it on Usenet, or...). DICK DALE IN PALATINE Dick Dale will be at Harper College on September 27th. The Harper auditorium only holds about 300, and 164 tickets have been sold so far. They're only $10. This show will beat hell out of the Cubby Bear show, if only because you'll be able to see the man play, instead of craning to see over the drunk bozo in front of you. Unfortunately, you STILL have to deal with seeing Spies Who Surf again. MORE PUNK IN HOMEWOOD Mike from the Shiznitz is putting on shows at the Homewood Village Hall. The first show features Apocalypse Hoboken and No Empathy. Go and support the guy, because anything's better than Off The Alley. NOMEANSNO It would appear that the Nomeansno show at Fireside on 9/24 isn't going on. Brian Fireside just left a ton o' shows on my machine, and that wasn't one of them.
