Show Calendar
April 2012 – May 2014
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.
Opener = Dive
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
Elvis Costello | Iggy & the Stooges| Nofx | Gogol Bordello | Alkaline Trio | Dropkick Murphys | Descendents | Offspring | Coheed and Cambria | More
Opener: Only Son
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.
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.
Never miss it. Scored a 3 day in the 5 seconds before they sold out. Hope my buddies don’t get scalped too hard to get in…
Opener: Video Tape
Opener: Elf Power
