Hunx And His Punx
2026-07-16 23:00 | Empty Bottle, 1035 N Western Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, 60622, United States
Doors: 10PM / Show: 11PM / 21+Hunx and His Punx are a California band featuring Seth Bogart, Shannon Shaw and Erin Emslie. Since they got back together in 2019 it seemed like teenage dreams were coming true. First they played John Waters birthday party, then they toured with Bikini Kill, got to open for The B-52s at their favorite festival and started recording their first album since 2013. They never would have guessed that it would end up taking 5 years to complete. Or that they would soon be going through some very brutal times – a tragic death, a global pandemic and being impacted of one by one of Californias worst wildfires in history. On August 16, 2022, the same day their White Lipstick single was released on Sub Pop Records, Shannons fianc and close friend of the band Joe Haener was tragically killed in a car accident. Totally devastated, they stopped working on their album for over a year while Shannon grieved and made an album with Shannon and the Clams. Eventually they picked up again when Shannon moved down to LA to be closer to Seth and Erin. They were always close friends but were now bonded together for life. This led to writing some of the bands first songs about grief, Rainy Day in LA and Walk Out On This World. A couple years later while putting the final touches on the album and preparing to start shooting music videos, tragedy struck again. On January 7, 2025, the Eaton Fires erupted and destroyed the majority of Altadena, CA. About half of the new Hunx record was written in Seths basement which is now contaminated with ash and toxic smoke damage and most of the neighborhood destroyed. Grief and loss once again made finishing anything feel impossible, so they pushed back the release date by a few months. Which brings us to NOW. Now is finally the time, On August 22, 2025, Hunx and His Punx will officially release their first album in 12 years, Walk Out On This World. Its their first with Get Better Records, a label the band is excited to be working with due to their focus on queer and trans artists. Between 2010 and 2013, Hunx and His Punx released 3 albums – Gay Singles, Too Young To Be in Love and Street Punk, on Hardly Art and True Panther Sounds. They were celebrated and often associated with the queer core, punk and garage rock music worlds. From 2014-2019 they took a 5 year hiatus. Seth got really busy with visual art and recorded some solo albums. Shannon was equally as busy with her band Shannon & The Clams and releasing her first solo record. Now they have finally returned with their fourth album, Walk Out On This World.The end of the world is near and its filled with wild boys, rainy days, bad thoughts, death and grief, white lipstick, and doing acid alone in Hollywood. If its the end of the world, I want to have some fun. These definitely feel like end times. And no one knows better than this band, that for every tear you shed, you must laugh twice as hard and you will eventually be OK.

In a limited, first-ever run of performances with orchestra, St. Vincent joins the CSO alongside Grammy-winning orchestrator and conductor Jules Buckley, opening a bold new artistic chapter. This special evening will see a selection of favorites and deep cuts brought to life in spellbinding new dimensions.

2026-08-12 18:30 | Salt Shed, 1357 North Elston Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, 60642, United States
Having recently completed another successful run with Pixies and Cat Power, Modest Mouse continues to prove themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today. Modest Mouse released their highly anticipated new album, The Golden Casket, on June 25, 2021 via Epic Records. The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi platinum band?s unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse?s studio in Portland, the album hovers in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science, frontman Isaac Brock explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in Brock?s head.

Gov't Mule
2026-08-13 20:00 | RiverEdge Park, 360 North Broadway, Aurora, Illinois, 60505
For three decades, Gov’t Mule has galvanized a global fan base with their honest, organic and daring music and improvisational virtuosity, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless, revered and active bands in the world whose spot amongst rock titans remains unshakable. Led by visionary GRAMMY Award-winning artist, guitar legend, songwriter and producer Warren Haynes – a cornerstone of the American music landscape – the enduring, globally revered GRAMMY-nominated group has showcased its intelligence and breadth over the course of 20+ studio and live albums, thousands of memorable performances, and millions of album and track sales. Gov’t Mule’s most recent studio album, 2023’s Peace…Like A River (Fantasy Records) is a timeless rock collection featuring guest appearances from Billy F Gibbons, Ivan Neville, Billy Bob Thornton, Ruthie Foster, and Celisse. Peace…Like A River – hailed as “perfection,” “captivating,” “riveting,” and among the band’s best – marked the follow-up to Mule’s GRAMMY-nominated blues album, Heavy Load Blues, with both albums recorded at The Power Station New England during the same sessions but created in different rooms with no shared gear or instruments. Gov’t Mule – Haynes [guitar, vocals], Matt Abts [drums], Danny Louis [keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals], and Kevin Scott [bass] – has become a human encyclopedia of great American music while adding to that canon with their signature sound. The band’s flexible interplay in the studio and on stage makes them a true living, breathing ensemble and Haynes is lauded as one of the most formidable guitarists and vocalists of the modern era and a prolific songwriter and producer.

Gone Daddy Gone Kiss Off
One of the most underrated rock bands of the ’80s post-punk era, Milwaukee’s Violent Femmes created a genre of music that was as unique as their name. They were pioneers of the underground alternative-rock scene before it was cool.
The beloved cult band’s acoustic-driven folk-punk sound was original and immediately recognizable. Their stripped-down approach conveyed a sense of urgency and raw emotion.
It took a while, but the band’s infectious, jittery brilliance could not be denied. After their emergence, they released their debut album, Violent Femmes. From start to finish, this platinum-selling LP remains a stone-cold classic.
Full of angst-ridden anthems, their collection of 10 studio albums provides a rich repertoire of music. Several tracks have been featured in movies and on TV to evoke ’80s nostalgia or quirky, restless energy.
Now, a bit older and wiser, the Femmes happily celebrate their 45th year together. Be sure to catch them live before they’re “Gone Daddy Gone.”
–––––
Fun Fact: In 1981, a member of The Pretenders saw the Femmes playing on the sidewalk in front of Milwaukee’s Oriental Theatre where The Pretenders were about to perform. Singer Chrissie Hynde invited them inside to play a brief set before they took the stage.

Alabama Shakes
2026-08-21 19:30 | Ravinia, 201 Ravinia Park Road, Highland Park, Illinois, 60035, United States
“Raw talent never falters,” writes American Songwriter. Though it has been more than a decade since Alabama Shakes burst onto the scene, fans have patiently awaited the reunion of vocalist and guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, and bassist Zac Cockrell. Their return isn’t just a comeback—it’s a rekindling of the electrifying chemistry that first redefined modern Southern rock, soul, and blues for a new generation.
With their 2012 debut album, Boys & Girls, Alabama Shakes entered Billboard’s Independent Albums chart at No. 1, earning multiple Grammy nominations and making Rolling Stone’s list as one of the year’s best albums. Soon after its release, the bandmates found themselves thrust into the global spotlight, achieving such milestones as performing at the White House and on “Saturday Night Live.”
Years of solo exploration and creative growth have only deepened the band’s artistry, bringing renewed perspective and fire to their unmistakable sound. Reunited onstage, Alabama Shakes channel the raw urgency of their early days while embracing the confidence and musical maturity earned over time—proving that their bond, and their brilliance, remain as vital as ever.
They are joined by opening act Liam Kazar, a Chicago-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter whose genre-fluid sound blends folk-rock, pop, jazz, and alt-country with ease. Stripped-down and sonically direct, his music moves with a quiet confidence, illuminating Kazar’s evolution into a singular and resonant voice in indie music.

Pond offer a skerrick of hope in a hostile world with a new record – their 11th – Terrestrials. A cyclone of urgent, scorched earth rock’n’roll, Terrestrials tips the hat to the sounds of then while squarely facing up to the here and now.
Conceived from a place of reverence for a particularly potent epoch in Oz rock, Terrestrials mines the sound of open sky melancholia, heat haze sizzling on the plains and jangly pub backrooms that hits an eternally poignant nerve for anyone familiar with the sound, time and place. From there Terrestrials evolved and the idea of “Goths at the pub” became the record’s stylistic north star – iconic 80s Australiana being acid-washed with the eyeliner-stained post-punk of Sisters Of Mercy, Magazine and the like.
