You may know her from her parts in Dum Dum Girls, Chrystal Stilts, or The Vivian Girls – but I like her best as herself, Frankie Rose (at least I think that’s her real name). A friend at work turned me on to her and I’ve never been to Township, so I’m excited to check it out.

Friday @ Congress Theatre
Saturday + Sunday @ Humboldt Park (Division and California)

It’s a little late in the season, and in kind of a weird place but it’s cheap.

Tickets

I’ve seen Conor Oberst with Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk, and as himself, but never with Desaparecidos – his rock band. They put out one awesome record called Read Music, Speak Spanish 10 years ago and then disappeared until reuniting for a small reunion tour last summer. This is their first time in Chicago since reforming.

Opener: Video Tape

Opener: Pillars & Tonges

The Both is Ted Leo and Aimee Mann.
