The Dog Show Takes It Down a Notch
Last December, we named The Flesh Hungry Dog Show's Mucca Pazza/Detholz! concert as one of the best of 2009. But lest you think the FHDS is all raucous hubbub, this month's offering is sweetly sleepy. On Friday, Feb. 5, Katie Todd headlines, a singer-songwriter with a truly lovely voice that should be played in movies during pensive, bittersweet moments. (Oh wait, her songs are on several soundtracks. My bad.) Fellow Chicagoans Dylan Rice and Jen Porter open the show.
Normally I wouldn't advise slugging down giant fruity drinks while listening to these subdued bands, but hey, the show is at the Jackhammer (6406 N. Clark St.) -- a giant fruity drink is practically de rigueur. The show begins at 9 p.m., and tickets are $10, whether you get them online or at the door.
