Last week I was canceled on by Morrissey for the first time. Through this rite of passage I am now officially a fan. Anyway, here are some local shows for this week, including Chicago punks Bungee Jumpers.

 

Other acts worth catching this week include Ruston Kelly, Neko Case, Giovanni Ventello, Tombseeker, Taxes, Jim Cosgrove, Natalie Prauser, and This Is My Condition.
