Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A SLIGHTLY NEW LOOK ------------------- Things have changed a bit in how the date-order list looks, and a bit more in the venue-order list. I welcome any comments, suggestions, praise, curses, etc on how it looks. Is it easier or harder to read? Also, I'm considering starting a band-order list, too. Would you subscribe to it? Or is it not worth my bother? UPDATES/CORRECTIONS ------------------- The New Radiant Storm King / Number One Cup show at Lounge Ax is Sunday the 6th, not Saturday the 5th. The Bollweevils / Apocalypse Hoboken show in Evanston on 11/2 has changed to Fireside, with a new lineup. DESCENDENTS IN ELGIN -------------------- Tickets go on sale Saturday, Oct. 5, 1996 at Dummyroom, both Reckless Records locations, and Record Swap in Naperville. They cost $10. GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- Last week's was Tool's monster "Prison Sex". As best-entrant (out of 12) Joshua Corn points out, it's "probably one of the more overtly disturbing songs I could think of off the top of my head at any given point in time... it's good to know that you make an effort to keep the stupid and the mentally disturbed participating in your electronic shenanigans." Random winner is Bob Parks. Winners, send me your addresses. This week's is pretty easy, from a slightly more seminal band. 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. Extra credit if you groaned while reading this paragraph, and tell me why. 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.
