Thursday posts focus on events that were previously mentioned on Broken Hearted Toy, and are taking place during the upcoming weekend. Plus, the occasional event taking place this weekend that has just come to my attention.
Tickets for the September 9 Supergrass concert at The Riviera in Chicago go on sale at 10:00 am tomorrow. The Oxford, England trio is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its terrific debut album I Should Coco with concerts in the U.K., North America and Mexico. Supergrass will perform that entire first album (I’d love to see how they recreate those Smurf-like vocals on “We’re Not Supposed To”), along with other hits.
Depending on when you read this, you could still catch the power pop band Dolph Chaney And The Phins tonight as they kick off their Third Thursday Of The Month residency at Montrose Saloon. They’ll be joined by Falling Stars, whose recent EP Garden Variety showcases their knack for catchy indie rock songs. And as noted in a Facebook update today, Vee Sonnets will now be joined by the other members of The Sonnets for his performance. Montrose Saloon is located at 2933 W. Montrose Avenue on Chicago’s north side.
The annual My Sweet George George Harrison birthday tribute takes place this Saturday at Martyrs’ on Lincoln Avenue. The event’s organizers—Ellis Clark and Ary Paloma—once again recruited some of Chicago’s best musicians to participate, and as a bonus, Billy J. Kramer will be a special guest. In addition to Clark; Paloma; and host Ken Mottet, the lineup of local performers will includes Pierce Crask; Razor House; Johnny Burnett Band; Phil Angotti; Jay Goeppner; Sandalwood Sitar; Help Desk; Frankie B; Barb & Barrett Tasky; Tom Klein; Heath Chappell; Ryan Tedder; and Andrew Clark.
PureSoul Presents, which has been staging tributes to rhythm and blues artists at City Winery Chicago for a while now, will switch to a different genre this Saturday. That’s when its The Queen Is Dead Live - A Tribute To The Smiths event will feature performers Bob Nanna, Rodrigo Palma, Billy B., and others.
Singer-songwriters Dennis Leise and Phil Angotti will perform at Paul Henry’s Art Gallery in Hammond, IN tomorrow night. The music starts at 7:00 pm; Paul Henry’s Art Gallery is located at 416 Sibley.
Chicago’s long-running free paper The Reader is sponsoring a The Decline of Western Civilization Parts 1 and 2 screening on Sunday at Thalia Hall. In addition to viewing those punk documentaries by Penelope Spheeris, attendees can watch music videos by local artists and have an opportunity to win admission to a Thalia Hall show of their choice. There will also be a pop-up market and free books by local authors, including journalist Jessica Hopper. Tickets for this 17 and older gathering are $20 and $30.
