'The Weekly Leak' Gives You Exclusive Access

Ever wish there was a listening party for people who get as excited about music-release-Tuesday as you do? You're in luck. The Weekly Leak, Monday nights at Sonotheque, gives you a slight sneak preview of the next day's best releases. The pros at The Decider, Reckless Records and WHPK narrow the week's releases down to a few gems for you to listen, discuss and enjoy. They also have giveaways from selected bands and give you the opportunity to purchase the releases before anyone else.

Tonight's featured releases are the Strange Boys' Strange Boys & Girls Club, Bishop Allen's GRR, and Neko Case's Middle Cyclone (previewed here last week).

Sonotheque is located at 1444 W. Chicago Ave. The party gets started at 9pm and admission is free. 21+

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.
