A few Chicago music news bites

  • If you head to the Empty Bottle on Saturday, August 11th, you'll see and hear something a bit different from what you might expect. The Bottle is working with Chicago classical station WFMT for the first "Thirsty Ear" festival, a night of contemporary classical music including Chicago Q Ensemble, James Falzone, Palomar Ensemble and the MAVerick Ensemble. The show will also be broadcast live on WFMT. More details here.
  • LostInConcert.com published some photos and a writeup of the Liars show at Metro last Thursday. Click here to check them out and here for more on the show from our own Andrew Hertzberg.
  • Lollapalooza released its webcast schedule, for those planning to watch from home next weekend.
  • What do Chicago band California Wives and Sharpie have in common? A music video. The music video, featuring the band's song "Purple," is part of Sharpie's 'Start with Sharpie' campaign, "which put Sharpie fans and their artwork front and center," according to a press release. Fans can submit artwork via Facebook for possible inclusion in the video.
