Well this is it folks, Lollapalooza weekend. If you weren’t able to get your hands on tickets to the massive sold out festival, or any of the official (mostly sold out) after shows, you still have options! That is, assuming you’re crazy enough to brave the streets of Chicago with roughly 270,000 concert-goers drunk on good music and overpriced booze.
Check out this weekend’s non-Lolla featured show along with a more extensive weekend list below!
RIVER CITY TANLINES at the Crown Tap Room, 8/4
River City Tanlines’ new record, Coast to Coast, was released this past Tuesday, 7/31, on Big Legal Mess/Fat Possum Records. The Memphis group’s first LP since 2006, Coast to Coast showcases singer Alicja Trout’s eclectic energy. Check out the Trout-directed, roller derby-themed video for “I’m Your Negative”, below.
The 21+ over release show kicks off at 9:00 PM tomorrow at the Crown Tap Room – 2821 N Milwaukee Ave. River City Tanlines will be supported by Party Bat and a special guest TBA. You can pick up the LP at the show or online through Fat Possum Records for just $10.
