On Sunday, Japan's wizards of heaviosity BORIS play @metrochicago.com to celebrate 20 years of their scorching album PINK. Here's how excited I was when they toured Chicago behind that record in 2005: chicagoreader.com/arts-culture...

When I spoke with Mike Mills for Caropop in February, he mentioned a new band he had formed with Darius Rucker (Hootie & the Blowfilsh) and Steve Gorman (Black Crowes). Howl Owl Howl performs its second-ever show tonight at @metrochicago.com. Can't wait! www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8IX...
