Tonight is going to be an awesome one -- the only problem is deciding where you're going to get down. My Chicago buddies and mash-up masters, the Hood Internet, are on a 10 year anniversary tour with a local stop at the Hideout, which is just a month out from a transition to Space. The Casbah hosts Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and I can say without question their latest record is their best in ages. Party band the Main Squeeze roll through Soda Bar, Super Diamond play a second night at Belly Up and for the reggae lovers, Through the Roots is at Music Box. Pretty strong contenders to make your Saturday night a knockout.
