Shows! tsh-kunk.. tsh-kunk.. tsh-kunk.. tsh... Shows! tsh-kunk tsh-kunk tsh-kunk tsh... Shows! The Chicago Shows List has come today Shows of note as of 7/18/96 All content copyright 1996 Andy Lester. Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORRECTIONS & UPDATES --------------------- Barkmarket at Empty Bottle is on Aug 2, not Aug 1. The August 2nd show at Fireside will not feature Sidekick Kato. The Invalids broke up, canceling the Channing-Murray show, not the Hi-Fives. Two Chicago Filmmakers shows are canceled: Spawn (7/27) and Collateral Damage (8/10). BUGS IN THE LIST ---------------- I just noticed two problems in the Shows List: * The venue list at the bottom of the list by date isn't sorted correctly. Anything that starts with a "The" is filed under "T". (To everyone at my office: Yes, yes, I know, non-filing characters.) * If a show has two dates, only one of them shows up in the New This Week section. For instance, Rage Against The Machine are at the Aragon Ballroom on 9/17 and 9/18, but New This Week only mentions 9/17. I'll try to get these fixed ASAP. OTHER SHOWS LISTS ----------------- A reminder: There is a list of other shows lists of which I'm aware at the end of every Chicago Shows List. Before you ask me about shows lists in other cities, check there. If it ain't there, I don't know about it. Also, you can check the Shows List web page to see if there are any web sites related to the area you're interested in. Also, Jen Angel's Midwest (punk) Show Listing is now maintained by Chris Patterson <patterson.147@osu.edu>. SMASHING PUMPKINS ----------------- For those not paying attention, not 3 hours after I sent out last week's List, a keyboard player in their backup band was found dead of a heroin overdose, and their drummer was arrested on possession charges. As of today's morning news on WXRT, the Spumpkins fired the drummer, are looking for a replacement, and postponed a dozen tour dates. However, it sounded like the Horizon dates are far enough in the future they won't be affected. ALL? NO, ALL! -------------- FYI, here's some mail I received a week or two back: Hi, Bill Stevenson from All here. I just wanted to let you know that ALL and THE DESCENDENTS are on line. Email us at: descendents@earthlink.net Ask about album release dates, tour scheduals, mailing lists, and other info. Please feel free to pass this address on to ALL who might be interested, thanks. REFERENCES ---------- I'm putting Guess The Reference on hold for a while. It's just more hassle than I need every single Thursday night. Last week was from "Journey To The Center Of The Mind" by the Amboy Dukes. This week is from... well, kind of the same genre and era. 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.
