I got Family by Lauren Dukoff today, a book of photographs she took of musician friends like Joanna Newsom, Vetiver, and Devendra Banhart. After seeing 50 pictures of Devendra looking bad ass – like playing a classical guitar with seven rings on and wearing velvet pants, I decided that I need to go to this show.

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: Pillars & Tonges

The Both is Ted Leo and Aimee Mann.

Laura Stevenson is also playing Saturday at 6:00 pm.

Opener: Wooden Shjips

To be honest, I’m probably going to be pretty haggard at this point after 5 consecutive days of shows, culminating with Lollapalooza. But if somehow I’m magically alive, I’ll come check out this rad Chicago natives for free in Millennium Park.
