Back In The City

It's certainly not my best work (the pains of being a writer), but I really enjoyed seeing The Dodos on Monday night at Bottom Lounge. I have to admit, it's tough getting out to a concert on a Monday night period, but even tougher right after getting back from a Mexico vacation!

So now it's back to Chicago and back to the grind-- work, commuting, and worst of all, cold weather. But also back to a busy concert schedule between Tankboy and I. Hey, the great music scene in Chicago is one thing I don't mind returning to!

Discovered Last Week

The Dead Trees - I'm a sucker for their 90's alt rock drama "Loretta."

My Were They - Post punk? New wave? Dark and hypnotizing. And they call Chicago home.

The Dodos - Go ahead and make fun that I'm just now catching up with this indie-pop group as they release their third album. They come to Chicago's Bottom Lounge on 10/19.
