Best of Chicago voting is live now. Vote for your favorites »
A touch of Indian summer rolls into Chicago this week, but the fall music calendar remains full of good reasons not to spend the evening outdoors. After the jump I get to some of the blockbuster shows written up on this week’s Soundboard, and right now I can tell you about a few more noteworthy concerts happening. On Monday you’ve got the Swedish House Mafia pounding the floors at the Mid and former Chicagoan Kurt Elling crooning up a storm on the final night of a short engagement at City Winery. On Tuesday night SPACE in Evanston hosts the Chicago stop of a detente tour with power-pop veterans the Paul Collins Beat and English two-tone veterans the English Beat (who were forced to add the “English” to their name in the American market by the former label of the very same guy sharing the stage with them tonight).
