WHPK, the student-run radio station at the University of Chicago, originally started its own modest take on the school’s big Summer Breeze concert as an antidote to that end-of-year student bacchanalia. These days the station’s own outdoor event is practically part of the official festivities, but its program still stands in stark contrast to the evening lineup, which this year includes Talib Kwele, Cake, Andrew Bird, and the Cool Kids (if you’re not a student at U. of C., you can only go with someone who is). Beginning at noon tomorrow with the Smith Westerns, WHPK’s show also includes Animal Law, Dead Luke, Wolfden, Bird Names, and the New York duo Talibam!
Talibam! headline WHPK’s Summer Breeze, and the weather’s supposed to be nice, if a little gusty–but if you don’t feel like being in the vicinity of thousands of college students, they also play tonight at Ronny’s.
