The Chicago Shows List Shows of note as of 12/21/95 Copyright 1995 Andy Lester --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NO LIST NEXT WEEK I doubt that there will be a Shows List next week.

Be at the Oblivion show at Fireside. JUNE OF 44 IN CRYSTAL LAKE Mike Topalovich, who did some punk shows in Cary back in the summer, is doing more shows in Crystal Lake. The first one features June of 44. Check out the listing for Veterans Acres Nature Center, or mail <mtop@cloud.com> for more info. CONTACT INFORMATION Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>.
