Another Week Missing Out

Well guys once again I am missing out on all the great shows happening around the city. This week I am stuck finishing everything I need to get together for my portfolio review that is happening next week. But even though I am missing out I figured i would still talk about what's happening this weekend. First off  The Boulevard Festival is happening all weekend. If you don't know this is a street festival in Logan Square. They have some great music happening this weekend with bands such as Greensky Bluegrass, Conspirator, and Digital Tape Machine. Along with the festival happening Concord Music Hall is also hosting after parties all weekend. Now on to the big show that I am really upset about missing. FEED ME Live with Teeth. If you are a fan of Electro/ Dubstepish music and don't know who FEED ME is then you really need to go check him out. He is one of the greatest dance music producers/ DJs that there is and his live show is incredible and always growing. Another show that is happening tonight is Tesla at the House Of Blues. Tesla is a pretty old band but still rocks as hard as they did 25 years ago. Now something not music related happening this weekend is Wizard World Chicago. Wizard World is another event that if you have never been to you really need to experience some time. People all around are in costumes, there are so many great artists, and vendors, its an amazing experience that unfortunately i will not be able to make it to this year.

Well next weekend we have North Coast Music Festival so i will definitely have some stuff to talk about, so until then thanks, for reading.

Shows This Weekend

Unfortunately i had to take a weekend off of going to shows. The homework was backing up and the funds were getting low so a break from shows was in need. But just because i diden't go to any shows this weekend dosent mean we cant talk about what was going on. Yesterday (Friday) nothing to big was going on, There was a Daft Punk tribute group playing at The House of Blues that would have been fun to go to. They go by the name One More Time: A Tribute To Daft Punk and play inside their own custom built Pyramid. I saw them once before and joked that it could be the real Daft Punk playing these small shows and no one would know. Tonight i am missing out on the KISS/ Def Leppard show. I have seen KISS a number of times but really would have enjoyed seeing them again. They are getting a bit old and you never know how many more times they are going to come around. Well did any of you go to shows this weekend? If you did leave a comment talking about the show. Thanks for reading.

RIOT FEST

If you haven't seen the lineup for Riot Fest this year then you need to check it out right now. If you are into the rock scene at all then this lineup will blow you away. Everyone from Janes Addiction, The Cure, Rise Against, The Offspring, Primus,and even Wu Tang Clan are performing at this years festival. Now i am someone that pays a lot of attention to festivals happening all around the world and can easily say this is the best lineup i have ever seen. Still after the lineup has been out for months i am still in shock that all these people are playing together in one weekend. Three day passes are staring at $189, two days are $139, and single days for $74 and for the amount of bands playing each day this is well worth it. Not only has Riot Fest put together a great festival but they also have stacked the weekend with official after parties all around the city. Some of the big afterparties include Bad Religion, Primus, Andrew W.K., and The Get Up Kids. This is definatly a weekend not to miss out on so head to riotfest.org now to get tickets.

Hey everybody this week was yet another great week for shows. First off on Thursday night I went out and saw Katy Perry at the United Center. Not really my type of music and really not something I would really go see but it was real fun. The show she put on was great. She flew around the whole stadium had tons and tons of visuals and played hit after hit. I do wish that she would have played a few more songs of of her firs cd ( Only played i kissed a girl and hot and cold) but it still was a fun and entertaining show. Next i went to Motley Crue on Friday witch was incredible. I have seen THem a few times but this toped them all. In the past few years Tommy LEE has toned down his drum solo a lot but this time he went all out. He played while his drum set went on a roller coster through the crowd. Not only that but the whole band was on their a game the whole show and put on a show to remember forever.Tonight im taking it easy wanted to go see Cosmic Gate at the Concord but got a little tired. anyways talk to you guys next time thanks for reading.
