He is the voice of Archer. He has/had(?) a show on Comedy Central called Jon Benjamin has a Van. He was the voice of the can of vegetables in Wet Hot American Summer. AND he’s coming to Schuba’s.

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.

Opener: Caged Animals

Opener: Brighton MA

Tim Kasher: Cursive, The Good Life, cool dude from Omaha

Chicago’s own, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound are playing a free show at Reckless Records in Lakeview on Record Store Day (Saturday 4/20). It’s an acoustic set, but something tells me it’s still going to get crowded in there…

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.

Opener: Video Tape

Openers: Falldown, The Appleseed Collective
