Here We Go Magic @ Schubas
Step right up and witness Secretly Canadian artists Here We Go Magic perform the auditory slight-of-hand with some sweet live loops, drones, and vocal harmonies as they bring their larger-than-life sound show to the intimate confines of Schubas Tavern. Fellow SC labelmates AroarA open (with members of Broken Social Scene and BSS spinoff band Apostle of Hustle). Tickets are $12. 21+. Doors open at 8pm. Schubas is located at 3159 N. Southport (at Belmont Ave.) 773-525-2508.
"The Cannon" Performative Reading Series @ Bonny's
"The Cannon," a monthly event starting tonight, (and part of Logan Square's "Strongworks" performance programming) will feature six Chicago actors
performing short stories chosen by Will Litton, fiction editor of the literary magazine
Wag's Revue, and Sam Nyhart, company member of Strong Works. Readings will be "performative, polished and punchy," according to Amanda Rozmiarek, production manager of Strong Works. Tonight's event will be held at Bonny's (2417 N. Milwaukee Ave.) from 9 to 10. Afterward, the Strong Works jazz band will play, followed by DJs, dancing and drinks. A $5 donation will be gently suggested at the door to keep their otherwise entirely unfunded season going.
