Anybody wanna road trip there with me? Sat: Parasites / et al in Rockford. I won't be there, but it'll be a great show. Thu: Oblivion all-covers set at Fireside. Yow! I may wear the famous pink dress again. OOPS It had to happen some day. I incorrectly listed the Alice Donut as being on the 11th, when it was really on the 3rd. A list reader missed the show because of it. As much as I try to be accurate in the list, if it's an important show, double check my info. And if I'm wrong, let me know ASAP. SHOWS LIST CLASSIFIED East coaster recently moved to the Schaumburg area (yes, the land of big hair), is looking for persons/people/groups interested in checking out indie-rock/punk/local bands (just about anything on this list) in Chicago. Especially Merge/Matador(esque) types and definitely any Chapel Hill band that wanders up this way. E-mail Mike at CMJ032@email.mot.com.
