Chicago Green Music Fest 2012 in Wicker Park- Featuring Dinosaur Jr

Opener: Only Son

I passed up their Lolla pre-show which I heard was amazing so I scored tickets right away for their November return to Chicago at the House of Blues. Should be a pretty good way to celebrate my birthday! If only it wasn’t on a Monday…

Here’s a look at what you missed if you didn’t catch them at Lolla this year. See if you can spot me in the crowd.

Sixto Rodriguez is coming to the Arie Crown Theatre for a show put together by the good people at Schuba’s and Lincoln Hall. If you haven’t seen Searching for Sugar Man yet, you should really check out his story of great early 70s records that flopped in the US, unknown fame in South Africa and the hunt for the mysterious man from Detroit.

Opener: Juan Wauters

The late show sold out before I got my shit together, so I’m going to the 6:30 show. I saw this young Canadian at Pitchfork and he was awesome. I’m looking forward to this one. Bonus – I can be drunk and home by 10:00 pm.
