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. \nDoors\n6:30 PM \nAge Restriction\n17 & Over \nVenue\nThe Salt Shed Indoors (Shed)\n1357 N Elston Ave \nPerformers\nModest Mouse \nPlease Note\nThere is a delivery delay on all orders until approximately one week prior to the show.

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.

They were pioneers of the underground alternative-rock scene before it was cool. \nThe 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. \nIt 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. \nFull 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. \nNow\, 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.” \n––––– \nFun 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. \nhttps://www.geneseetheatre.com/events/detail/violent-femmes-2026 \nCheck out more events here!

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. \nWith 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.” \nYears 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. \nThey 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. \nLess Info URL:https://chicagomusic.guide/event/alabama-shakes/ LOCATION:Ravinia\, 201 Ravinia Park Road\, Highland Park\, Illinois\, 60035\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://chicagomusic.guide/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/26-08-21_AlabamaShakes_Main-9863f84fd3.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260822T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260822T183000 DTSTAMP:20260527T182418 CREATED:20260426T164912Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260506T103509Z UID:94191-1787423400-1787423400@chicagomusic.guide SUMMARY:Mötley Crüe - Tesla DESCRIPTION: URL:https://chicagomusic.guide/event/motley-crue/ LOCATION:Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre\, 19100 Ridgeland Ave\, Tinley Park\, Illinois\, 60477\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://chicagomusic.guide/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/f574a75c-fc77-4bef-b74f-415ec5308e24_TABLET_LANDSCAPE_LARGE_16_9-1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260822T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260822T230000 DTSTAMP:20260527T182418 CREATED:20260508T113146Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260508T113146Z UID:94912-1787428800-1787439600@chicagomusic.guide SUMMARY:Los Angeles Azules – Cumbia Sin Fronteras US Tour DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles Azules – Cumbia Sin Fronteras US Tour\nSaturday\, August 22\, 2026\n8:00 PM URL:https://chicagomusic.guide/event/los-angeles-azules-cumbia-sin-fronteras-us-tour/ LOCATION:Allstate Arena\, 6920 Mannheim Road\, Rosemont\, Illinois\, 60018\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://chicagomusic.guide/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-08-22-aa-1536x864-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260826T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260826T230000 DTSTAMP:20260527T182418 CREATED:20260508T132331Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260508T132331Z UID:94915-1787774400-1787785200@chicagomusic.guide SUMMARY:Grupo Frontera – Triste Pero Bien C*bron Tour DESCRIPTION:Grupo Frontera – Triste Pero Bien C*bron Tour\nWednesday\, August 26\, 2026\n8:00 PM URL:https://chicagomusic.guide/event/grupo-frontera-triste-pero-bien-cbron-tour/ LOCATION:Allstate Arena\, 6920 Mannheim Road\, Rosemont\, Illinois\, 60018\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://chicagomusic.guide/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-08-26-aa-1536x864-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260827T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260827T193000 DTSTAMP:20260527T182418 CREATED:20260426T164912Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260506T103851Z UID:94192-1787859000-1787859000@chicagomusic.guide SUMMARY:"Comedy Tragedy Parody" Dominic Fike in North America DESCRIPTION: URL:https://chicagomusic.guide/event/dominic-fike/ LOCATION:Aragon Ballroom\, 1106 W.
