Television @ Metro
Even now, it's a little odd to think of Television coming from the same scene that launched Blondie and the Ramones, but the punk band that certainly didn't sound punk on the surface has aged nicely and their Marquee Moon still ranks as a stone-cold classic. With a few lineup changes, Television's back to playing and all indications are that they've barely lost a beat. Television headlines Metro. The show starts at 8:30PM. It's 18+ and tickets are $25. Metro's at 3730 N Clark.
