Opener: Fancy Colors

Sondre’s back in Chicago with a full band. Hooray!

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.

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…

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.

Ah yeah! Rx Bandits are playing the Resignation all the way through in honor of its 10 year anniversary.
