Saturday:
Talib Kweli w/ Tef Poe @ Old Rock House 7:00 p.m. | $15-$20 Talib Kweli could destroy a microphone just by staring at it; ask anyone that attended the Idle Warship show at 2720. Tef Poe opens, fresh off an appearance on BET's 106 & Park. (DH)
The Cuban Missiles CD Release Party w/ The Disappeared, The Winchester, Sink The Bismark @ Cicero's 8:00 p.m | $10 Catchy punk rock for the people, fun-centered and sincere. Record release, go! (DH)
Tone Rodent Record Release Show w/ Demon Lover, Trauma Harness, Catholic Guilt @ Mushmaus 9:00 p.m. | $5 Tone Rodent releases its long-anticipated split with ROSCO! Furthermore, a more perfectly-suited set of openers would be hard to imagine, so don't linger outside between sets for too long. (DH)
Sunday:
Rum Drum Ramblers Record Release Party w/ Chicago Blues Angels, the Hobosexuals @ Off Broadway 8:00 p.m. | $5-$8 New slab of vinyl from South-City's pre-wartime-bluesiest. Ask Mat to do some Nineteen covers; it'll be funny. (DH)
The Breaks @ The Firebird 8:30 p.m. | $5 One of the most promising bands in the city is back and playing shows again after a long absence and a member change. (KM)
