If you happen to be in the northwest suburbs tonight (October 20), Kevin Lee And The Kings will be performing their hard-edged and catchy rock and roll from 8:00 to 11:00 pm at Madcats in downtown Palatine. Lee is a guitar slinger with an unerring sense of melody, which has resulted in a series of impressive albums of the years.
Chicago-based band whitewolfsonicprincess, which describes its approach to alternative rock as “21st Century Druid Music,” will be performing tomorrow night (Friday) at Montrose Saloon. In an review I posted here of their The Alternate Boot Vols. 1 and 2 album in 2019, I noted, “whitewolfsonicprincess seems obsessed with the darkness and bad will that engulfs the modern world but feels there’s a light that can save us.” There’s a definite mystic feel to their songs. Montrose Saloon is located at 2933 W. Montrose Avenue on the city’s north side.
Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick will be at Antioch Fine Wine & Liquors in the northern Illinois village of Antioch this Saturday (October 22) from noon to 3:00 pm for a Rock-N Vodka Bottle signing.

People looking to start their Halloween fun early should check out Nightmare On Chicago Street, which is taking place from 6:00 to 11:00 pm this Saturday, October 22 in Elgin. The annual event is back after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, so watch out for hordes of zombies staggering around the city’s downtown area. Live bands, including Chicago Loud 9, Too Hype Crew, Kashmir and Hi Infidelity will be rocking out amidst the chaos, and special guest Svengoolie will host a costume contest. Check the website for a number of other activities that will be taking place. A recent Facebook post warned that tickets are going fast, so anyone interested in going should purchase them in advance.
