MUGGSY McMURPHY'S ROCK PICKS

Truth be told, I ain’t gonna be at any of these shows. Yeah, I am far too cheap and way too lazy to leave my house in February. But you should go. Seriously. You should.

MONDAY 1/31Analog Pop @ Rodan 
1530 N. Milwaukee Ave.
773-276-7036

DJs Rolan Vega & Adam Killing spin electronica, psych and no wave. Do I need to elaborate on that? No wave, dude.

TUESDAY 2/1 
Buckcherry, Hell Yeah, All That Remains @ Congress Theater
2135 N. Milwaukee Ave.
773-276-1235

Buckcherry is absolutely fascinating to watch. They strut around the stage like they're actually a good band with good songs. I find this very interesting.

WEDNESDAY 2/2 
Freak Owls, Young Suns @ The Whistler 
2421 N. Milwaukee Ave.
773-227-3530

The only thing I like better than a Freak Owl is a Young Sun, not like the old sun we got up there now.

THURSDAY 2/3 
Less Than Jake @ Bottom Lounge 
1375 W. Lake St.
866-468-3401

You may not find a less entertaining show than Less Than Jake this week. Savor it!

FRIDAY 2/4 
Yo La Tengo @ Metro 
3730 N. Clark St.
773-549-0203

I the got this one, although Air Supply is playing in Hammond. Tough call, but I'd take Ira & Co. in this case.

SATURDAY 2/5 
Detroit Cobras, Hollows @ Double Door 
1572 N. Milwaukee Ave. 
773-489-3160/877-435-9849

D.C. @ the D.D.? Duh. Seems like everything's happening on Milwaukee Avenue this week.

SUNDAY 2/6 
Devildriver, Cancer Bats @ Bottom Lounge 
1375 W. Lake St.
866-468-3401

Devils? Bats with Cancer? Know where I'll be on Sunday night? Home watching the Super Bowl. Tough break, guys.
