Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES/CORRECTIONS ------------------- The Neurotic Outsiders show at Double Door is now 9/14, not 9/12. Next Saturday's Christian Death show now starts at 10:00, not 11:30. The Mentors canceled their Empty Bottle show. The Rockstock lineup is different than what I have. There are a couple of more yucky bands added, and no Sepultura. It's not like you were planning to go or anything anyway, right? I missed any mention of Soundgarden at the Aragon November 9th and 10th until this week. The 9th is sold out, but the 10th still has tickets available. My apologies for missing it. HOUSE OF BLUES CYSTIC FIBROSIS BENEFIT -------------------------------------- There's a big blues benefit show at Park West on 9/21. Special VIP tickets are available. Email PLS1@NTRS.COM or call 312-630-6692 for complete info on the show. SMASHING PUMPKINS ----------------- There will be shows 10/4 and 10/5 at the Horizon. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am. My original info had them playing 10/6 as well. I wouldn't be surprised if that show got added after the first two sell out. FINAL SHOWS AU-GO-GO -------------------- Everyone's playing farewell shows: - The Scissor Girls at Lounge Ax on Friday. - The Subdudes at the Vic on 10/19. - Killdozer at Metro on the 31st is their last show, according to the Illinois Entertainer, but now Empty Bottle says that their mid-November show there will be the last. It worked for The Who. RANDOM STUFF ------------ Freefest will probably not happen this year unless the city approves the permits that they need. Toto's is now called Jackhammer. Joan Jett will still be there on 9/13, followed by Yngwie Malmsteen on the 20th. The rest of their weekend lineups involve metal cover bands.
