Fall shows in Chicago

[Slaky]

It's a busy fall and tickets are cheap around here. I've put together a shortlist of shows that I'm going to/thinking of going to over the next couple months.

Most Serene Republic, Sept 10th at Schuba's
*Trail of Dead and Secret Machines, Sept 25th at LSA
*Grizzly Bear, Sept 27th at Metro (for the wife, really)
Yo La Tengo, Oct 6th at the Vic
*Telefon Tel Aviv, Oct 10th at Hideout
*Twilght Sad, Oct 12th at Empty Bottle

I put stars by the shows I already have tickets to. If I have to say one of these is a must attend it's the Trail of Dead and Secret Machines show. Both bands are amazing live and its 15 dollars.

Also the Pixies are playing the Aragon Nov 20th and Pinback will be at the Bottom Lounge on Nov 3rd.

Almost forgot, I'm seeing Alice in Chains at the HOB on the 19th of September. Should be interesting with the new singer. I've seen a couple of youtube videos and he's not bad at all. I'm going into it thinking I'm seeing the world's best Alice in Chains cover band.

Just saw a guy tonight named Will Hoge...  awesome.  He'll be up there around 10-23 at the Double Door:  http://www.willhoge.com/tour

Give it a shot.  He puts on a good show.

That Trail of Dead show may also find its way onto my list.

Black Crowes.

Like it's a habit, or something. I bartended a show of hers, about the same time of year, same place, back in 2001.

I guess the Steely Dan shows next are still considered "late summer." Because everybody loves Steely Dan.
