MySpace Secret Shows Present City and Colour

Photobucket


For the past two years, MySpace Secret Shows have been bringing large bands to small venues for free intimate concerts. You may remember Moby's secret DJ set at SmartBar last April. They've also brought such acts as The Cure, The Decemberists, Lily Allen, and even Neil Diamond to clubs around the country.

This Thursday night, MySpace Secret Shows return to Chicago with Ontario's City and Colour (the acoustic side project of Alexisonfire's Dallas Green). Joining him on the bill is The Color Fred (the side project of Taking Back Sunday's Fred Mascherino).

The show is Thursday night, January 29th, at the Beat Kitchen, 2100 W Belmont Ave. The show starts at 7 pm and is all ages. It's first come, first served, so plan to arrive early. The first 15 people who bring a printout of their MySpace page with Turbotax in their top friends will get express entry.

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.
