Hope's Wake (KHughes Photography) |
On
Thursday, December 30, head to
Goose Island in Wrigleyville (3535 North Clark) to check out Nashville's
Hope's Wake plus two locally-based acts -
The Bergamot and
Kory Quinn. Bobby of Hope's Wake wrote to tell us about the show and introduce us to his music, describing his sound as "a schizophrenic Bob Dylan combined with the groove of Radiohead." That description pretty much begged a listen, and what do you know, it really does sound like that. Which is really quite something. He just put out a
very cool EP and is traveling a long way to play Chicago, so if you like what you hear be sure to check out the show.

Pegboy |
There's a lot of
really good shows happening on
New Year's Eve, but quite possibly the loudest will be taking place at
Abbey Pub. Four certifiably noisy Chicago bands spanning punk and garage rock -
Pegboy,
Mannequin Men,
Sweet Cobra and
White Mystery - will be taking the stage to ensure you ring in the new year with ringing ears. Click
here for more information and tickets.
