Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORRECTIONS & UPDATES --------------------- The Saturday show down at Channing-Murray w/the Invalids has been canceled because the Invalids broke up, and that Hi-Fives show is all different, too. Avail will not be at Fireside, but at Hemensway. A List reader informs me that the ELO II / Little River Band at Star Plaza show has been canceled, but I don't have confirmation. Gosh, I hope not. Not only did the Seven Mary Three / Poe show get moved to the Vic, it changed to July 31st. Cibo Matto at Double Door on 7/17 is canceled. STEVE WYNN ---------- Some of you noticed that Steve Wynn was listed at both Empty Bottle and Martyr's on the 18th. Empty Bottle assures me that he will only be at Empty Bottle, but the Martyrs' print ad still lists him. Phone first, kids. SMASHING PUMPKINS ----------------- Yes, that's three dates for the Spumpkins at the Horizon in October. Yes, I'll be sure to mention when I find out about tickets going on sale. CONTACT INFORMATION ------------------- Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.
