King Sparrow Opening for The Meat Puppets Tomorrow

If you are going to see The Meat Puppets tomorrow, you are one lucky duck. Not just because you are seeing one of the most celebrated and influential bands of all time in a sweet venue, but also because of one of the openers. King Sparrow is a local band who have already been given mad props since they formed last year. They are playing the first of the three Meat Puppets shows scheduled at Schubas this week. Rooted in an epic garage rock sound, King Sparrow is pop-y enough for toe tapping, but has just the right roughness around the edges. Add some blues to this mix and you've got yourself some hells yeah music. Opening alongside them is New Jersey band Black Wine. You can catch all this at Schubas located at 3159 N. Southport. The show starts at 10. $16 ($18 at door) and tickets are still available here. (773) 525-2508

The daunting ABC's, the patronizing, boring lessons and let's not discount the numerous Raffi flashbacks that one might go through while trying to find music to groove to that is also appropriate for little ones. Even though children's music has some shining gems, they can be hard to find and if you have children, who has the time? Chicago based musician Justin Roberts is something a bit different.
