Devin the Dude The Firebird : 7:00 p.m. May 26
There's something refreshingly unassuming about Devin Copeland's chosen stage name, Devin the Dude. The same thing can be said for his music: Devin's songs aren't filled with tales of hardcore violence and obscene wealth — he's more likely to rap (or sing) about running out of weed or... More >>

Big Muddy Records Chili Cook-off Off Broadway : 2:00 p.m. May 27
It would be easy to crack an off-color, juvenile joke relating to the fact that an organization that calls itself "Big Muddy" is holding a chili cook-off, but we're far too classy for that sort of thing.

Orgone Old Rock House : 9:00 p.m. May 29

Penguin Prison The Firebird : 9:00 p.m. May 31
From this 2011 Slideshow: Last night, Penguin Prison opened for Girl Talk at the Pageant.

Margot And The Nuclear So And So's The Firebird : 7:30 p.m. June 1

.e, Red Squad, Hatch The Heavy Anchor : 9:00 p.m. June 1

The Shins The Pageant : 8:00 p.m. June 4
The Shins was indie-rock royalty, ruling the last decade with a often-brilliant combination of soft-spoken and frenetic music.

Delmar/ The Loop	Indie

Stanley Clarke Trio Jazz at the Bistro : 7:30 p.m. daily from May 23 until May 26

Tom Hall SqWires : 5:00 p.m. every Fri.
The phrases "low-key" and "guitar hero" don't often appear in the same sentence, but both could be applied to Tom Hall, whose laid-back stage presence tends to make one forget that he's a truly exceptional guitarist.
