Ween: Live in Chicago DVD released today

Ween's first DVD release, a 2-disc set documenting some November 2003 shows at the Vic, gets released today. Yeah, you get all the hits ("Pork Roll Egg and Cheese," "Voodoo Lady," "Doctor Rock," and so much more), but you also get the chance to look for yourself in the audience! The DVD should be available at all your favorite music stores.

Metro Night Game

Metro has come up with an interesting way to showcase local bands on Cubs game days: Tonight, come watch the game at Metro, 3321 N. Clark, on the biggest screen Wrigleyville -- the back wall of the stage -- then stick around for a set by Burn Rome Burn. Admission is free during the game, and they're offering $2 Miller/Miller Lite pints. Doors open at 6pm.
