I went and saw Down play at the House of Blues in Chicago last night. This was the third time I've seen them, and they put on a good show as usual. It was billed as "An Evening With Down" which meant that there were no opening bands (thank God, ...

So, it turns out that on Friday afternoon some guy walked into the office of a law firm roughly 4 blocks from where I work and gunned three people down. You would think that I'd have heard about it, at least via RSS news feeds, long before I got a ...

So much has happened in the past 2 weeks and I haven't really been writing about any of it. I am going to blame being busy, which I have been.
So in the past 2 weeks (give or take a few days) I have attended 3 concerts, been to two Cubs ...

As I mentioned a few posts back, last night I went to see Ænima, Chicago's Tool cover band. They were better than I expected, and definitely worth going to see. They played for nearly 3 hours, which is pretty impressive in and of itself. I kept track of their setlist ...

I just found out that Chicago has a Tool cover band that's been around since 2002. Why did I not know about this before?! Judging from some of the reviews at toolarmy, they aren't half bad.
They are playing at a place that is a short bus/cab ride from my apartment ...

Last night's Mogwai show was just what I was hoping for. They played a good mix of the old and new, and did so for almost an hour and a half (including encore). I guess if Mogwai is not your style of music, you would have gotten bored pretty quickly. ...

Wednesday night I go see Mogwai. I have been prepping by putting on their CDs before going to bed and then falling asleep halfway through them. Hopefully I do not follow this pattern Wednesday night. Due to unfortunate circumstances beyond our control, one ...

Until tonight, I was convinced that there was no such thing as a more drug induced/influenced performance than John Frusciante's first two solo albums. Well, I was wrong. Allow me to introduce Ariel Pink, whom I had the pleasure of seeing tonight at Schuba's here in Chicago.
Ariel's set is divided ...

This past weekend I made the trip back to Lansing, MI to catch Endless Aisle and Capitol Cities play at Mac's Bar. I have posted all the pictures I took here. You will probably notice there are three different bands throughout the set of photos. In order they are:
1. Endless ...

There are now a bunch of pictures up at Mushroomhead's site from the show Ryan and I went to at The Pearl Room in Mokena, IL. The combination of not having to drive there, relatively cheap beers, and decent opening bands made for yet another lovely show. Here are some ...
