Whoa, dude. It’s the weekend. Better get your groovy self out to some shows! There’s plenty o’options including the mind-altering two days at the Hideout, better known as PSYCH FEST II, Pilsen’s swinging duo Ornery Little Darlings at the Empty Bottle, singer-songwriter Sad Brad Smith at Schubas and so much more.
Let’s get to it, shall we?

When it rains it pours, and right now it is pouring for Chicago psych-rockers Great Society Mind Destroyers. I mean this in the best possible way.
The band, consisting of Brett Borden, Andrew Kettering, Will Sauceda, Jim Lechocki, and Nick Kaminsky, have just started recording a full length with Phil Karnats of Secret Machines, and so far it sounds like things are going swimmingly well.

Three sometimes-your-friends-have-kids-and-quit-their-jobs-and-up-and-move-to-the-suburbs-and-although-you’re-bummed-you-still-can-be-happy-for-them-you-selfish-jerk reasons to hike on up to Schubas tonight…
1. There are side-project and then there are side-projects. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra are the latter. Like five or so full-length albums the latter. Coming from the belly of Godspeed You Black Emperor, the sort of ever evolving Orchestra has been as prolific as any non-side-project full-time band, releasing double album after double album of sprawling yet remarkably easily accessible rock epics. You probably don’t need me to tell you this, but here’s my stamp of approval none the less.

As cool a ‘hood Logan Square is, it still lacked in the uber-hip record store department – until now.
West Logan Square meet Saki, your new record store slash art gallery slash all around awesome place from the peeps over at Carrot Top Distribution.
Located at 3716 W. Fullerton Avenue, Saki’s website boasts the tag line, “music. art. books. zines. people.”, which means this place isn’t just your ordinary cramped and dusty vinyl shop. Saki will carry not only vinyl but magazines, books and even cool collectibles!
According to WindyCityRock.net, Saki will also be a venue for local groups to perform, and this weekend’s grand opening event lineup rivals Chicago street festival lineups!
