Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Contact Information ------------------- Mail to shows@tezcat.com. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like venue, date or band order.
