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.
