On Wednesday and Thursday night I got to see one of my all time favorite bands, Sparks, in Chicago. These guys have 22 albums out and have been doing their own thing since the 70's. The last time they came to Chicago was 1982 or 83. I was lucky enough to also see them in 1988 (I think) in LA...purely by chance. My band was in LA rehearsing for a show and on the way back from a rehearsal we passed a Tower Records that had a big sign about a Sparks in-store. I had the band drop me off and figured I'd find my way back somehow. I got my copy of Interior Design signed by Ron and Russell that day and then they did a short set outside of Tower Records. That was a very very cool day. Sparks Wednesday November 6th at Lincoln Hall in Chicago. Last night The Handcuffs came to town and played the Cowboy Monkey. Had a great night seeing lots of old and new friends. Pictured above are 3 of the 5 Handcuffs. L to R Chloe Orwell, Brad Elvis (Elvis Brothers, The Romantics) and Emily Tongi. Brad and Chloe were also at the Sparks show Wednesday night.
