GB Anniversary Party Alumni Hit Chicago Friday Night
If you've made it out to either of the last two Gapers Block anniversary parties at the Hideout, then you've been lucky enough to hear two of our favorite local bands, Canasta (from our 2006 party) and the Occidental Brothers Dance Band International (from this past May). Well, this Friday night, August 10th, you can beat the heat and catch both of these bands again (though not on the same bill, so you'll have to make a choice).
–Head out to the Double Door to see indie rockers Canasta cast a few well-crafted lyrics out into the crowd. They'll headline a benefit show for the Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP), the brainchild of Shawn Campbell who hopes to fund a non-profit community radio station to replace WLUW. They'll be joined by Plane, May Or May Not, and Driftless Pony Club. Tickets are $20 (correction) $10.
–Or, a bit further south and slightly west, see the Occidental Brothers Dance Band International play their very first booty shaking Empty Bottle show, starting at 10pm along with the Billy Dolan Band and dj Wayne Montana. Tickets are $8.
