    Wow…5 nights of Art Brut at Schuba’s?! Nice.

  2. DJ Renton Says:

    I second the motion on the Art Brut shows. Anyone in Chicago should seriously consider hitting these up. A friend of mine spent all 5 nites with them last week in NY and had nothing but great things to say.

    Tonite, U.S. Royalty is the opener – from the sounds of it, they are on their way to something bigger.

    Anyone want to carpool there from MSN?

  3. Steven Says:

    Gaslight Anthem/Murder by Death?!
    Awesome!
    Last time I saw MbD they absolutely killed at the High Noon Saloon.

  4. Steven Says:

    Sorry, meant The Annex.
    Which I thought was the perfect venue for them, but I could see High Noon being pretty fitting as well.

  5. Steven Says:

    As well as Turner Hall!
    Actually, especially Turner Hall.
    Anyway, I’ll be there.
    The end.
    Also, show in Point you might want to check out if you’re free -
    June 13th – $5 – The Afterdark – Sega Genocide, Terminated Television, Stormstrike, Keith Moon Ketamine Extravaganza, and my personal pick for best wisconsin band/best live band – Tenement.
    Tenement alone, even though they put on short sets, is well worth the always low admission price.
