Concert & Festival Tickets on a Budget

I love going to concerts and festivals just as much as the next guy, but I don’t know how much longer I can afford $40 here, $50 there and then the occasional $200 festival pass. It’s just too much, especially for a student. I know a lot of people are in the same boat and [...]

This review pains me to write. As an unabashed Dandy Warhols fan, I had unusually high hopes for a live set that was to be peppered with Dandy Warhols hits from the last fifteen years. But alas, my hopes were dashed in an evening at the Granada Theater that was definitely bittersweet. First – some [...]

Show Review: Here We Go Magic and Dr. Dog at South Side Music Hall

On a recent Thursday night, we had a choice – we could hop in for another mosh pit at The Loft, or throw on our skinny jeans and hang out with hipster nation at the Here We Magic & Dr. Dog show. After our experience with Monotonix, we figured some music with more… musicality… was [...]
