Weekend Diversions

Marmoset

Indiana’s Marmoset bring their brand of skewed pop to the Empty Bottle on Saturday night. It promises to be a nice night of psych tinged guitar jangle with locals Light Pollution, Nervous Fingers, and A Tundra filling out the bill. All this for $8? Get out and support some homegrown talent, you.

10:00 PM. Saturday, 8/22. Empty Bottle. $8.

The Golden Horse Ranch Band

How’s about spending your Sunday afternoon in the park? Sound good? Then go check out The Golden Horse Ranch Band this Sunday at Millennium Park. Bring the kids and they just might learn the hokey pokey. Great countrified sounds from a great countrified Chicagoland band. All this for free between the hours of 1 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.. Yee-haw!

1:00 PM. Sunday, 8/23. Chase Promenade North in Millenium Park. FREE.
