Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES/CORRECTIONS ------------------- The 10/14 KISS show at the Rosemont Horizon is now 10/21. THE DESCENDENTS IN MADISON -------------------------- This isn't in the main listing: The Descendents are playing the Library Mall on the UW-Madison campus on Tuesday, Sep 17 at 6:00pm. The show is free, and also includes Speech and The VibroChamps. GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- Yes, yes, last week's was from "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears, but since I didn't announce the contest that week, I don't think it's fair to award prizes. The one a few weeks ago making reference to Revolting Tones Revue was from the back cover of the first Boston album. I figured it might be too obscure, but then again, as winner Rick Somebody-or-other points out, "I find it hard to believe that the liner notes from the best selling debut album of all time would be considered obscure, but maybe I'm showing my age." Rick was the only one to submit an entry, so wins for that week. Rick, send me your address. This week, it's back to normal. I'll take the standard best entry and a random winner. Winners get a fabulous Shows List Dollar. Send your entries to shows@tezcat.com. Be sure to include your name in the entry so I can tell you if you win, as well as band name and song title.
