This Week in Great Music: 8/22 – 8/28

By Sarah, on August 22nd, 2011%

The post-Lollapalooza slump is over, because there are tons of shows this week that I think are worth going to.

This Week in Great Music: 8/8 – 8/14

By Sarah, on August 8th, 2011%

Lollapalooza’s over, and now the city as a whole collapses into a post-Lolla nap. For the whole week. I mean, really. Is it just me, or is there really very little of note going on this week?

This Week in Great Music: 7/25 – 7/31

It looks like the heat wave has snapped (for now), so maybe it’s time for me to come out of hibernation.  I’m planning on checking out Cass McCombs at Schubas tomorrow night, and there are a few weekend shows that look mighty tempting.

This Week in Great Music: 7/4 – 7/10

By Sarah, on July 4th, 2011%

Tiny little list this week. Feels like lots of bands are taking their summer vacations right now. Don’t worry, there are tons more shows than this that may be to your tastes; this is just what’s going on that’s got my interest.

And if you’re looking for something to do on Saturday night, you . . . → Read More: This Week in Great Music: 7/4 – 7/10
