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.

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.

Bjork, R Kelly, Belle & Sebastian, MIA, Low, Chairlift, Foxygen, Mac Demarco, Frankie Rose, many more

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: Elf Power
