The Chicago Shows List
Special Long-winded Edition
Shows of note as of 10/26/95
Copyright 1995 Andy Lester
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REMEMBER THE NEW ADDRESS
My switch over to Tezcat should now be complete. Please remember to
address mail to <shows@tezcat.com>.
This is also the first week with my new mail-the-list software. It
should work, but if you don't get the list, and are therefore unable to
read this, let me know ASAP.
ANDY RECOMMENDS
Fri: Oblivion / Weston / Doc Hopper / Scissor Girls / Poonjab at the
Elmhurst VFW Hall. The 3 lead bands promise to put on a
pop-punk show of the highest order.
Sat/Sun: Underdog Records Benefit at Fireside Bowl: Tons of bands, all
of whom appear on the soon-to-be (already?) released Achtung
Chicago! Drei comp.
Tue: It's Halloween night, and unless you're going to see Gwar for
the 100th time at the Riv, the Goblins show at Empty Bottle is
your best masked-garage-rock band bet. There'll also be new
copies of the new Roctober, Chicago's finest magazine, bar none.
Thu: New Bomb Turks / Teengenerate / Speaking Canaries at Empty
Bottle. I've been waiting for a while for Speaking Canaries to
finally get over here to Chicago.
HOW TO SUBMIT SHOWS FOR THE LIST
I'm getting many messages from people giving me shows to put on the
List. I'm glad to have them. Please keep sending them in.
Whenever you send in information, please tell me how you know what you
know. When readers send me things, it's usually that the reader:
* is in the band, or is the band's manager
* is a fan who has a tour itinerary from the band
* is a fan who found an itinerary on a band-related web site
* is a fan who found an itinerary on Pollstar or TicketMaster
* hallucinated the whole thing
These are in decreasing order of accuracy, and the hallucinations
sometimes are MORE accurate than TicketMaster. Letting me know your
source helps me gauge the potential accuracy of the information, before
I spew it to 1300+ readers.
I've been bitten in the past by messages like "Throwing Muses are
playing Metro on...", and it turns out that the date is actually 2 days
later when they finally get around to coming here. I still want to
know such things; I'll just mark them as "(tentative)" until they're
officially announced.
Finally, if you're a band manager or member, messages like this drive
me nuts: "We're playing Joe Shmoe's Hole-in-the-Wall in Lafayette, IN.
There are going to be other bands, I think, but I don't know who.
Then, on the 14th, we're playing a kegger out at..." Chances are, I'm
going to figure that the Shows List readership isn't going to care, and
I'm not going to list it.
Remember, the Chicago Favorite Bands List exists for EXACTLY that
purpose. Maurice lists everybody! He is far more charming and much
less grumpy than I am.
Further, I need to know other bands that are playing. Your band is not
the only one on the bill; please don't think that you'll be the only
band that people will be interested in.
MELT BANANA AT METRO
Melt Banana will be opening for Mr. Bungle on the 20th of November. I
don't care about Mr. Bungle, but Melt Banana were astounding at the
first Shellac show at Fallout Club in July.
GWAR IN MILWAUKEE
Gwar will be in Milwaukee on the 29th, not the 30th.
DINK / ACUMEN / BLUE-EYED CHRIST
The date for the Dink / Acumen / Blue-Eyed Christ show at Metro was
wrong. It's October 28th, not November 28th.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found
out about us.
