Glorious Noise Boards

Yeah, I'm leaving town for Thanksgiving. I was sooo pissed when I saw the dates for those shows.

I assume y'all have Chicago-metro pretty well covered, but I'll see what I can do.

The "poopypants" thing really confused me for a sec until I remembered...

nice.

They're playing at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago on July 30th, now too. I will most assuredly be there.

Yeah, about twice the people and half the energy of last year's Abbey show. I'll have a review up at popmatters next week, if anyone is interested in reading me clamouring on for 700 words about it.

I don't know about blues, but you should go see Ted Leo / Fountains of Wayne that night in Chicago. Indy's looking a little spare during that time. If you don't already know it, www.pollstar.com is a good resource for live shows.

I picked the worst weekend ever to leave Chicago, since I'll be missing this show, The Mountain Goats, and the Decemberists.

I'll likely be there as well. The Abbey show with Crooked Fingers was amazing.
