Three with warmth comes the rain reasons to jog on over to the Hideout this very evening…
1. You love a party. You love a record release. Therefore, you love a record release party. Tonight is just such a deal. Come celebrate Chicago’s own Shapers, a band willing to take their sound wherever they damn well please, as they celebrate the release of Little, Big.
Holy smokes! This might be the best weekend for live music in Chicago outside of Pitchfork Fest and Lollapalooza weekends. So many shows. So little time. Read on for previews of Evan Dando at the Double Door, Tortoise at Lincoln Hall, Scott Lucas and the Married Men at Schubas and that’s just scratching the surface.
But before we get to the shows, a reminder that Loud Loop Radio will be back on the air tomorrow, Saturday, February 20, at 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Radio DePaul.
Anyway, we’ve got a whole lot of ground to cover. Lets get to it, shall we?
One week ago, experimental rock trio Mako Sica, one of our 10 Chicago bands to watch in 2010, played the Hideout. Well, here’s some sweet footage of the band playing their tune, “5th One is the Dark,” from their latest release, Dual Horizon. The footage, courtesy of the band’s Facebook page, was filmed by Michael Siciliano. Be sure to catch Mako Sica this Sunday at the Halfway Lounge located at 1742 N. Milwaukee Ave.

Three mind-blowing reasons to get on over to the Hideout tonight…
1. One of our very own 10 Chicago bands to watch in 2010, experimental rockers Mako Sica will be at the Hideout for you to watch. See? We told you to watch them and tonight you can physically do so. You have, of course, read my review for their debut and will soon be reading my review for the follow up, Dual Horizon (out soon), but tonight is your opportunity to formulate your very own thoughts.
Three rootin’ tootin’ reasons to head on over to the Hideout tonight…
1. It’s Monday which, for the time being, means it’s Robbie Fulks Monday. He owns that night at the Hideout and this week is no exception. If you’ve not heard but like good old fashioned country, country the way it used to be, full of dry wit and a big old f#@& you attitude then Robbie is your man. There’s no winking here. Just honest to goodness countrified music through and through.
It’s Superbowl weekend, but there are still a bunch of awesome shows happening this weekend! But before we get to the shows, a reminder that Loud Loop Radio will be back on the air tomorrow, Saturday, February 6, at 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Radio DePaul.
