Chi-Town Music

Okay, so my boss is not going with me to the conference in Chicago. Most people would think that's cool, but it's kind of a drag because I was looking forward to the extra face time and away-from-the-office bonding. But she's sending my old pal Bill in her place, and that means he and I will need to check out some music after the conference.

One option--on my birthday no less--is the International Pop Overthrow festival. That evening there are these bands:

International Pop Overthrow 4/18 evening lineup

• 7:30 Brice Woodall
  
• 8:00 Zerostars
  
• 8:30 Last Day In Pompeii
  
• 9:00 Ray Dafrico and The Shanghai Gesture
  
• 9:30 The Lackloves
  
• 10:00 Alan Bailey
  
• 10:30 The Cells
  
• 11:00 Keith Betti
  

8 bands between 7:30 and 11:00. That might be cool. Another band that's playing is Backyard Tire Fire. I listened to them as I worked today (alt-country, pretty good).
