Lollapalooza is Over, Shows Continue

Due to ill-timed vacations and weddings, you may have noticed our Lollapalooza write-up is taking longer than normal to post. Just know that it is on its way. And I wasn't there, but it looks like the question as to whether one should check out Wilco or Rage Against the Machine was answered rather harshly and abruptly. In the meantime, here are some upcoming August shows in Chicago to keep you busy.
