Since there is rarely room in the Lolla line-up for Chicago bands this weekend has become the weekend of official Lolla aftershows at all of the local venues. Many of them feature local bands opening for national acts that wouldn’t otherwise be in town. This gives the band a bigger audience and gives fans a chance to see a Lolla band on a smaller stage.
A solid aftershow for tonight, August 4th, would be Ballroom Boxer and Sybris with Lolla act The Big Pink at Subt.
