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.
So I’m dumb and bought tickets to Of Montreal and Rodriguez on the same night. I’m going to Rodriguez because he might not come back around, but tell me this doesn’t look fun:
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.
Tim Kasher, the front man for Cursive and The Good Life, is doing a solo acoustic living room tour. Tell me this doesn’t sound awesome?
I passed up seeing these weirdos the last time they played Lincoln Hall because Rodriguez was playing the same night. My take was that Rodriguez might not be back around, but of Montreal will. And I was right. Going to get down at this one.
Opener: Pillars & Tonges
The Both is Ted Leo and Aimee Mann.
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.
