A legendary gig in @TheRealLilacs history. 24th bday of singer @KenKurson and a shared bill with the great Paul K and the Weathermen.
On the one year anniversary of his death, let's take a moment to consider the influence of the great Cliff Johnson. His smoky voice and quirky melodies in Off Broadway and Pez Band helped invent Midwest powerpop.
A staggering 29 years ago tonight. @materialreissue @MetroChicago June 4, 1994.
At the screening of @outoftimedoc last night @CinemaArts on Long Island (dir. by @balinschneider), curator @MRKE4eva handed out mix CDs featuring tons of Prairie Rock. @materialreissue, Green, @TheRealLilacs, Elvis Bros, etc.
"No Cover for Ladies" @materialreissue with Price of Priesthood and Sponge, at @MetroChicago, 36 years ago tonight.
The mighty @NRaygunOfficial at some random place in Elgin, Il, supported by Sinister Dane (aren't they ALL kinda sinister?) and Contracide. Thirty-two years ago today.
Thirty-seven years ago today. A classic Chicago line-up @MetroChicago.
Really spooky and weird flyer for Eleventh Dream Day and God's Acre, who appeared @MetroChicago 34 years ago. Beautiful hand-drawn font, too.
