Catch local indie/experimental/wackadoo rockers (and Edgewater residents) Skybox, as they perform what may very well be their first acoustic set at The Sovereign (6202 N. Broadway, 773/274-0057). The show on Saturday, Dec. 9, will be kicking off around 10 p.m., followed by Arpad, who will spins ‘60s soul and the like until the breaka breaka dawn. Or at least until closing time.
