Today’s post is focused on events taking place this weekend that were previously mentioned here on Broken Hearted Toy, plus a few brand new items. This gives readers an extra day’s notice, and since the events won’t be repeated in tomorrow’s Slumgullion, helps streamline Friday’s post. Slumgullion won’t be entirely new. I’ll keep mentioning upcoming events up to and including the Thursday prior to the weekend they take place.
The 10th Annual Super Nova Ska Festival will be held this weekend at Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA. British pioneering ska act The Selecter, still led by Pauline Black, will be the main draw with its performance on the last day. Other acts include Roy Ellis with The Aggrolites; Skavoovie and the Epitones; Five Iron Frenzy; and Catbite. A total of 38 acts, from 8 countries are scheduled to appear.
Over 120 artists will display their work at the 19th Annual Lakeview Festival Of The Arts this Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. The event will be held on Chicago’s north side between Belmont and Hawthorne on Broadway. It will also feature live music until 10:00 pm on Saturday, and until 7:00 pm on Sunday. Local power pop band The Spindles, who have a new album coming out next March, will perform at 4:30 on Sunday. See the official website for the entire schedule.
The Chicago Underground Film Festival, which bills itself as the longest running underground film festival in the world, opened tonight and will run through the weekend, primarily at Harper Theater (5238 South Harper Avenue). Just Above The Surface Of The Earth, scheduled at 7:30 pm on Sunday at the Gene Siskel Film Center, will be the final screening of this year’s event.
Chicago-based, guitar-powered instrumental band Outronaut will likely include its rollicking new song “Riot Flower” during this Saturday’s performance at FitzGerald’s in Berwyn. Their gig starts at 7:00 pm.
Nick Lowe’s Indoor Safari, his first album in 11 years and another joint effort with Los Straitjackets, is coming out tomorrow. That’s when we’ll also see the release of White Noise And Lightning: The Best Of Continental Drifters.
Even as we approach mid-September, it’s still possible to enjoy live entertainment in a picturesque outdoor setting this weekend at the Northman Riverwalk in downtown Chicago. The venue’s DJ series continues this Saturday from 3:00 to 6:00 pm as Chicago-based DJ KØRA crafts an energetic blend of house and techno. Sunday brings the smooth jazz of MarLo2da$ki from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Looking ahead to September 20 – 22, The Northman Riverwalk will kick off the first of two special Oktoberfest Weekends.
