Tabloids scream
The Chicago Shows List
seen at a shopping mall
That's the kind of talk
that makes my stomach crawl
Shows of note (by venue) as of 3/20/97
All content copyright 1997 Andy Lester.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Feature!
------------
Always bringing you the best in Chicago concert information, the Chicago
Shows List is proud to let those of you who get the band-order list know
where my favorite band, "tba", is playing! They also have a spinoff band
called "tba x 2". They seem to play Fireside a lot.
Corrections/Updates
-------------------
The big Allen Ginsberg thing at Metro on April 13 is canceled.
Sending In Show Submissions
---------------------------
I've been receiving many show listings, especially for punk shows, that
don't really tell where a show is. For instance, (not to pick on this one
guy) I got one for two shows at the Woodstock VFW Hall. Maybe you'd know
where the Woodstock VFW Hall is if you lived in Woodstock, but it's a safe
bet that most other people don't. The list is read by over 3000 people
each week, so expect that not everyone will know where your show is.
Throwing Muses breaking up
--------------------------
After 10 years, Throwing Muses are breaking up after this tour, so the show
out in Valparaiso may be your last chance to see them.
Descendents again
-----------------
The Descendents will be at the Congress Theater. (See the listing).
Here's ticket info direct from Dave Eaves:
tickets on sale this saturday at the following locations: Dummyroom,
Reckless Records, Blackout Records, Clubhouse, and Bulldog Records (new
Victory Records store), Record Swap in Naperville and Tinley Park,
Record Breakers in Hoffman Estates, Bizzy Bee in Naperville, Dr. Wax in
Evanston, Earitable Records in Oak Park.
Will do mail order for out of towners. Send money orders only-no cash
or checks. Make payable to Dave Eaves. Send that with a self-addressed
stamped envelope to: po box 14847, chicago il 60614.
Beck at UC
----------
Numerous UC folk mailed to notify me that the Beck show (singular) at UC on
April 12th is for UC students & staff only. However, UCers can buy up to
four tickets.
Guess The Reference, last week
------------------------------
Last week was from "Lonely Boy" by Andrew Gold, a song which infected my
brain way back in 1977 when it came out. That vigorous piano banging!
Who needs subtlety?
Fourteen people knew the song, but only ten knew it was by Andrew Gold.
Random winner is Kristi Turnbaugh.
Best entry is from Eric Sinclair, who didn't even enter. In unrelated
private mail to me, he made an allusion to the song title, and I replied
that he should enter the contest, IF he could remember who did the song.
His reply to me: "My memory is as good as Gold, Andrew."
Good groans are always worth a Shows List Dollar.
Guess The Reference, this week
------------------------------
The top of the Shows List makes lyrical reference to a song. Identify the
song and artist, mail it to shows@tezcat.com, and win a fabulous Shows List
Dollar. One winner is chosen at random from all correct entries. Any
particularly funny or noteworthy entries may also win a SL$, whether or not
the answer is correct. Make sure you include your name in the entry.
