News from Chapel
I popped by the Chippewa Chapel at Off Broadway last night, one of a surprisingly healthy number of attendees, considering the chilly temps. A couple bits of info stuck out:
The club will now host the traveling open mic once a month. On February 3, a Frederick's Music Lounge rememberance show will be celebrated, noting the (roughly) one-year passing of the venue.
Meanwhile, we overheard that the Wormwood Scrubs and two-thirds of Thee Dirty South (Bob Reuter and Marc Chechik, sans drummer John Baldus) will be touring Europe, kicking off in February. Bob Reuter in Europe... the mind reels.
Lastly, 52nd City is co-sponsoring a show on Friday, December 22, "A Very Merry Christmas Spectacular," a multi-band bill booked by Mike Tomko's Tomko Bomb Co. concern. Saw the name on a huge banner with my own eyes.
