                         Chicago Favorite Bands List
Vol VI, Issue 6                                               February 4, 1997
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time is of the essense!  Welcome to another addition of the
ChiFav list.  This list is made from reader submissions of
upcoming shows for local Chicago bands.  If there's a band
in the area you like, send in their upcoming show dates.

I did see Sister Soleil open for the Bottle Rockets at the
House of Blues last Thursday (talk about the decadence!).
Also, on Saturday, I went to the Metro and saw My Scarlet
Life (Preston Klik does it again), Squirm (grrrl punk),
and Certain Distant Suns (they dropped the midi for more
guitar!).

Sunday, I'm seeing Veruca Salt at The Rave in Milwaukee.
Aside from that, who cares?

Thanks for the many submissions this week!  Please keep on
sending in the shows!
