As noted on the Facebook graphic, the Neo Reunion ticket sales will help “fund Darkest Before Dawn, a nonprofit organization providing mental and emotional health support resources for our industry workers.” Neo was one of the first venues in Chicago to spin punk/new wave records and retained its reputation as a trendy spot for several years. Metro, located just down the street from Wrigley Field, continues to be an essential destination for cutting edge music.
Dot Dash, the Washington, D.C. band that’s notched glowing Broken Hearted Toy reviews for each of its releases for a number of years now, will kick off an extensive tour later this month. They’ll be sharing a bill with iconic Irish rockers The Undertones in New York and Boston, and a have gig with False Tracks in Philadelphia. They’ll be with The Minus 5 in Washington, D.C. in July, and with The Vibrators in Washington, D.C. in September. More dates will be added in the near future. I’d love to see them come to Chicago, particularly on a double bill with The Undertones.
Velvet Crush will perform for the first time in 20 years on July 5 at the POP venue in Providence, Rhode Island. I’ve followed Velvet Crush founding member Ric Menck’s career from his The Happy Forest album with The Reverbs in 1984 through his current gig as the drummer for Matthew Sweet’s band.
