Hey Chicago! Just because summer is winding down doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of awesome shows to attend! This weekend we highlight The 1900s at Lincoln Hall, the Velcro Lewis Group at Saki, Down-Fi at the Double Door and more!
Let’s get to it, shall we?
By Staff \ commentsEarlier this week, we told you about Chicago’s all-female KISS tribute band, Slutter, heading to WGN Morning News on Thursday for a lesson in kick-ass rock n’ roll-ness. Well, it all went down yesterday morning as the band ripped through a raucous version of “Calling Dr. Love” from KISS’ 1976 album Rock and Roll Over. Lucky for you, we have video of Slutter morning mayhem, and don’t forget to catch the band tomorrow night at Park West! Anyway, check the performance:

Monday Afternoon Quick Fix runs every Monday afternoon to showcase the best of Chicago music news, views and stories from around the interwebs and blogosphere that we might have missed.
Charlotte Gainsbourg has a pretty voice, but it’s more or less just that: pretty. What I mean to say is that she doesn’t possess a lot of range, which makes it all the more astonishing that her new album IRM is such an enjoyable listen. Despite her lack of raw vocal talent, the fourteen tracks that compose the album are a relatively varied and interesting bunch. Gainsbourg herself deserves credit here for switching up her style and delivery from song to song, but the real congratulations should be directed at Beck, who wrote and produced all but one of the album’s songs.

Coming off the heels of their successful and sold-out performance at the Park West last April, the local independent label Numero Group will be taking it’s Eccentric Soul Revue on the road, starting with a show at Lincoln Hall this Saturday.
The tour is being co-sponsored by Shlitz and will include many special guests at stops along the way.
