The Hideout Block Party
I won’t be doing my usual Best of Myspace this week because I am in the midst of attending a three day music festival in Chicago put on by The Hideout as well as Touch and Go to celebrate their 25th Anniversary.
I will blog about some but not all of these bands after the festival is completely over. Please refer to my flickr account for pictures of: Girls Against Boys, Ted Leo, , The New Year, Uzeda, The Ex, Pegboy, Man or Astroman, Sally Timms, The Didjits, and more. I will be updating my flickr with increasingly more pictures of these bands as time goes on. Also, check out Radio Free Chicago for coverage.
I do not have pictures of Shellac or Big Black. For those, please refer to the site of a great photographer and equally nice guy, Robert Loerzel’s The Underground Bee in order to see these. You can also check out those pictures at the flickr site of a photographer I met yesterday from Boston, Jon B (no, he is not Jon Brion. I said he was from Boston, not LA)
Best of Myspace will return next week with a top ten instead of a usual top five.
