Here's the stretch of shows I'm penciling into the work calendar right now. Bike's got lights on it, Sox finished another long season, and I'm still picking Thalia Hall nights over just about anything else in town. These are the ten I'd drag a buddy to before I'd drag him anywhere else.

NameTickVenueAddressCityDateMy take
1Death From Above 1979—————
2The War and TreatyThalia Hall1807 S Allport StChicagoHusband-wife duo that'll have the balcony in tears by song three. Bring tissues, not jokes.
3The Tallest Man on EarthThalia Hall1807 S Allport StChicagoSwedish guy, one guitar, sounds like six. Home building, zero excuse to miss it.
4Hamilton Leithauser + RostamThalia Hall1807 S Allport StChicagoWalkmen guy meets Vampire Weekend guy. Sounds like a trade deadline move that actually works out.
5Dave Matthews BandUnited Center1901 W Madison StChicagoArena show, not my usual lane, but the building's seen more banners than most and the sound still holds up.
6Stevie WonderUnited Center1901 W Madison StChicagoSongs in the Key of Life, 50 years later, still the GOAT conversation starter. Like arguing Jordan versus anybody.
7RawayanaAragon Ballroom1106 W Lawrence AveChicagoVenezuelan funk outfit that turns the Aragon into one big party. Dance floor gets loose, dress light.
8Orville PeckThe Salt Shed1357 N Elston AveChicagoMasked cowboy crooner in a converted salt factory on the river. Industrial room, honky-tonk voice, works somehow.
