Rockstar: Wicker Park Edition
Tonight marks the first Live Band Karoake Championship at the Wicker Park pizza joint, Piece, 1927 W North Ave. A benefit for Children's Memorial Hospital, each wannabe singer who donates the $10 entry fee will peform in front of a panel of celebrity judges: Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, along with Shellac's Bob Weston and Steve Albini. So, what's in it for the winner? Well, on top of the good karma you'll get for supporting Children's Memorial, the winner will also receive a year's supply of Piece pizza and a chance to perform with Rick, Bob and Steve. Don't feel like taking the stage? C'mon and watch -- $5 gets you in and a pint of beer.
