Fourth of July! Black Cats and Ballparks, the kingdom of Heaven is within! Dylan Simon’s Rock ‘n’ Roll ‘n’ Skate party is tonight at the Rivergate Skate Center, Yautja is playing the Stone Fox on Wednesday, and Quichenight are having their album release at Charlie Bob’s on Thursday. Friday is the night to be seen with Destruction Unit at the Stone Fox, an official afterparty at Betty’s with Jock Club and more, Hound at Pussy Palace, and Daddy Issues doing their cassette release at Two Boots. Options are slim for the Fourth, but the Queen Ave folks are throwing a party or you could drive to Franklin for a live simulcast of the Grateful Dead show in Chicago. Finally Sunday wraps it up with the Melvins at Exit/In.
