I Lost Control at Lizard’s Liquid Lounge

ILC returns to Lizard’s this weekend (August 8, 2009) for a late summer gig. We’ve been busy in the new rehearsal space painting, decorating, and sound deadening, but more importantly, working up some brand new tunes. We’re hoping to debut at least two of them for you! Don’t miss it!

Our good friend, Finn Swingley will be on hand to open with a stripped down version of Evening Bells.  Don’t miss them either!

Lizard’s is located at 3058 W Irving Park Rd. Music starts 9:30ish. No cover (but there’s a big a$$ed tip jar).
