Three reasons to head on over to the Logan Square Auditorium tonight to spend an evening with the Residents…

1. Because you’ve probably never experienced anything like a Residents concerts before. Never heard of the Residents? Well, they’ve been around since the ’60s and yet still no one knows the names or have seen the faces of the four members. The majority of the time the band are hiding their faces behind giant eyeball masks or some other elaborately designed costume. Their music and live performances have been called many things including avant-garde, performance art or just plain weird. The Residents are pretty much as anti-pop as they come by playing by their own rules and not sacrificing their artistic sensibility for major labels.

2. Because the Residents’ current Residents tour, titled Talking Light, should be one for the ages. According to the Residents’ wikipedia page, the show will feature Resident member “Randy” wearing an old man mask with the other members wearing optical equipment over their faces with dread lock wigs while playing songs that tell stories about, “various characters’ obsessions with invisible siblings, fictional serial killers, people in mirrors, among others.” Yes. Hell Yes.

3. Because if we’re really lucky, they’ll play their ridiculously amazing cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction”

8:00 PM. Monday, 2/15. Logan Square Auditorium. All Ages. $25.
