Compliments of their intensely descriptive facebook page: “Margot [& the Nuclear So and So's] is a rock band from Chicago and Indianapolis.” They even went so far as to add, “They make recorded music and play shows.” They’re heading on tour to promote their fourth-ish* full-length, which comes out tomorrow.

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.

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: Laura Stevenson

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.

Opener: Clear Plastic Masks

Day 1 Shaky Knees Aftershow in Hotlanta.
