Please retain this check stub and take it with you when
applying for unemployment.  Welcome to the ChiFav list.
As you may know, this list is constructed from submissions
via the internet.  Send in the upcoming show daets of your
favorite Chicago area bands, and they'll be listed here.

So I went to the Metro Saturday night.  I saw Ballsniffer
(crappy frat boy metal), Brando's Charm (reminded me a little
like Live, but without the pretentious melodrama--but then
again what is Live without the pretentious melodrama--so I
guess they didn't sound anything like Live..."innocuous bar
rock" I guess is a better description), and Pilar's Carnival
(wants to be Bush (why?), but needs a lot of work).  Oooh,
was I too scathing this week?  ;-)  Tho Brando's Charm did
do a decent cover of Duran Duran's "Rio", it was nowhere near
as good as the Gigolo Aunt's version of the same song a
couple years back at the Empty Bottle.

This week?  I dunno...is there anything going on?

Thanks again for the submissions this week.  Keep 'em coming!
