This event Held on the DeVry University campus - just behind Dominick's @ Roscoe & Western - peaked our interest last year with Umphrey's headlining the closing evening.

When you've been around for 25 years you must be doing something right. The Queers released their first 7" way back in 1982 and have been going strong ever since. 25 years later Joe King (aka Joe Queer) takes the stage once again in support of a new album, Munki Brain, (out today!) and a new DVD to be released later this month.

More info on today's show here.

Last fall after a quick rise including a slot at Lollapalooza & a great debut release, the Cankles called it quits. Citing “artistic differences” for the demise sounded all too familiar, but now as the New Year breaks you have a chance to hear what will rise from the ashes.

This Thursday former Cankle vocalist & keyboardist, Kid Static comes to Wicker Park's Subterranean for a performance featuring (fellow ex-Cankles) Ricky Ropesack & DJ Once a Month. This evening should prove to be interesting & should provide insight as to what is to come from these Chicago-based musicians.

Check out the details here.
