Hi. I don't post here a lot, but I really like this forum and read it frequently.
Anyway, I am in a power-pop band, The Lampshades (
http://www.myspace.com/thelampshades), and we are going on a little mini-tour this weekend.
We are playing at a really great bar, Cal's, in Chicago on Saturday night. I know that most of you guys don't know me, but if you have nothing better to do, and you like catchy rock music a la Big Star, Dinosaur Jr., Teenage Fanclub, Superdrag, early Weezer, and Sloan, you might have a good time.
We played there once before, with a wonderful band called The Safes and had a hell of a time.
Show Details:
August 2nd, at 10:00 PM
Cal's Liquors
400 S Wells St
Chicago, IL 60607
Bands include:
World Wide Riot
The Lampshades
The Brilliants
The Blackbelts
Also, if anyone from this forum comes out, I'll pick up a beer for you (although it will probably be a cheap beer because I am poor). This offer is void if a bunch of people from this forum come out, but I highly doubt that will happen. Let's just say I would be happy to get three or four people beers on Saturday night. So that you can take me up on this, I will make sure to wear my grey t-shirt that says "The Bookstore" on it.
OK, sorry that this was long-winded, but it would just be great if someone would come out.
