This year Chicago based indie label Touch and Go will be celebrating 25 years. While not as old as KWUR, this label has been around for a while for an alternative independent label. They are the real deal and KWUR has gladly been broadcasting their output since their birth.To celebrate their age and liveliness they are having a 2.5 day music festival in Chicago from September 8th-10th. This isn't just any music festival however: a bunch of awesome kick-ass bands from the past have agreed to reunite on this one-time special occasion. Bands that have long gone on "indefinite hiatus" (such as Big Black, Man or Astro-Man?, Scratch Acid, and, Girls Against Boys) will be at the event giving us all one last chance to check them out. I'm particularly excited about Man or Astro-Man? since a personal friend of the band once told me they would never play together again. This may be your last chance...make the short trip to Chicago in September.
Advance 3-day tickets can be bought for $35 bucks starting August 18.
Check out the lineup...
