Summer touring season is ramping up, and while more bands are getting routed through Chicago there are some that can’t quite get here for one reason or another. Sweden’s Hypocrisy was supposed to play Ultra Lounge tonight, but the group had to cancel its whole tour; according to the metal band’s site the members of Hypocrisy recently learned that they would not be able to pick up their travel visas until late June due to an influx of work at the department of Homeland Security.
Although Hypocrisy won’t be performing at Ultra Lounge this evening, the venue is hosting Krisiun, Arsis, and Starkill; elsewhere tonight there’s Bill Callahan at Garfield Park Conservatory, Pomegranates at Empty Bottle, Robbie Fulks at Hideout, and David More and KG Price at Myopic Books. Tuesday night there’s Deer Tick at City Winery, Patti Smith & Her Band’s second night at the Vic, and Chandeliers at Hideout. On Wednesday there’s Dillinger Escape Plan at Reggie’s Rock Club, Little Boots at Lincoln Hall, Him at House of Blues, and Deer Tick at City Winery. That’s not all that’s on tap the next few days—be sure to check out the rest of the Reader‘s concert listings in Soundboard and read on for a few in-depth picks from our writers.
