Andrew Bird at The Hideout this weekend?!

andrewbird.jpg

Our friends over at Chicagoist just broke the news that hometown hero Andrew Bird has two shows listed on his site at The Hideout on December 14th and 15th.

I'm assuming it's a last minute surprise, since it's not actually listed on The Hideout's website.

And even more odd, according to Ticketweb, the shows are already sold out. What is going on Andrew Bird? Stop teasing and confusing us!

The shows are 21+ December 14th and 15th at 8 p.m. I'd suggest heading over to Craigslist and try your luck at finding at ticket!

She's Money

By Kara Luger

When talking musical influences with Helen Money, it's easy to forget her instrument of choice: cello. She references Bob Mould's Beaster, with its wall of sound and intense, thought-obliterating guitar work. She speaks of The Who and all the crazy rock bands she was exposed to in the '80s. "The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
