So going in chronological order:
THURSDAY FEBRUARY 24
DUM DUM GIRLS (great lo-fi garage pop)
MINKS (dunno)
DIRTY BEACHES (dunno)
THURSDAY MARCH 17
Sic Alps (wispy minimal pop rock)
CAVE (I remembered these guys being riff-heavy stonermetalish, but everything I looked for just now sounds like peppy dance rock)
Wet Hair (lounge-ish weirdness from Iowa City, which means they must be good)
CAVE's myspace
SATURDAY MARCH 26
THE RESIDENTS (at the Contemporary Art Center)
(legendary all-purpose offensive weirdo art collective whom I can't do justice for in a brief blurb; just browse their wiki for highlights. I can't imagine this being anything besides mind blowing)
e.g., the video after this link:
Youtube wasn't posted in this entry because the preview stillframe wasn't really safe for work/public computers
Browse through their youtubes and you'd get a general feeling of what you'd be in for.
SATURDAY APRIL 2 (at Logan Sq. Auditorium)
LIGHTNING BOLT (spastic noise-punk bass and drum duo; they play every show on the floor)
Here's a picture of them playing live from their website. Find the MUP2!
(play it loud)
WEDNESDAY APRIL 4
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE AND THE MELTING PARAISO UFO (legendary psychedelic band from Japan; also in the "I can't imagine this being anything besides amazing" vein. Come if you want to see 50 year old Japanese guys headbang)
FRIDAY APRIL 15 (aka 2 days after my bday)
ZOLA JESUS (really fantastic atmospheric goth pop from, of all places, central Wisconsin)
If you're a fan of 80s depressive synth goth stuff like the Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. you need to come to this. I'm 90% sure I'm going to this even if no one else does. I will be sad and gothy alone if need be.

i like the dum dum girls (i think that best coast is playing in chicago near that time as well?) and i would go see zola jesus... but i am way too scared to go anything spastic or punk...
we really should make more of an effort to get out of chambana every once in a while!
