Chicago, wtf is up with Tuesday?!?

There’s lots to see this week in the indie/pop/folk/alt-country scene! My calendar is overflowing and even though I know most of you don’t even live in Chicago, well, I’m hoping someone reads this and goes to one of these gigs to tell me how they went. I don’t always get out when I want to… it’s complicated. But that makes getting out all that much more worth it! So this week, you’d better be alive on Tuesday!

Clem Snide with The Heligoats at Schubas

I’m looking forward to this very much. Clem Snide is actually a trio; Eef Barzelay,  Brendan Fitzpatrick, and Ben Martin. I’ve been soaking up the songs on their MySpace page and on the pages of friend’s blogs. Everyone I know just can’t stop talking about how good Eef’s songs are.  Sneak a peek over to Matthew’s blog for a taste of Clem.

And at the same time! There is playing these fabulous bands:
Eulogies with Middle Distance Runner at The Bottom Lounge (this is some seriously good shit!) pure up good indie stuff. I hope they get a good crowd of young folk, they’re coming off of SXSW and must be exhausted!

Bad Connection mp3 Eulogies (acoustic version, Homespun session) Here Anonymous out 4/7 on Dangerbird Records

This Fine Progression mp3 Eulogies (acoustic version, Homespun session) Here Anonymous….. buy it here

Middle Distance Runner “The Unbeliever” from maxwell sorensen on Vimeo.  ….. check out their 7″ coming out March 17 for download and in stores March 24…. go to their site.

andddddddddd, also on the same fucking night! is this great bluegrass/folk show:
Sexfist with Folkstringer at The Red Lion Pub  (and I was scheduled to go to this gig and meet a guy named “Chewie” who emailed me about covering his band, Folkstringer, but I’m gonna have to bow out and meet up with him in a couple weeks). I wanted to catch this show… grrrr why does everything good have to be all on one night! Help me out darlings!

I have no idea who’s playing towards the weekend. Obviously in Chicago all the good stuff happens during the week.
