Tuesday is the night in Chicago this week, with Clem Snide mastermind Eef Barzelay at Schubas, the incomperable piano pop of Shearwater at the Mansion, and the godmother of chick angst empowerment, Liz Phair, playing the entirety of Exile in Guyville. The rest of the week is a bit slim, but Nova Scotian power poppers Sloan will undoubtedly crush the Double Door tonight, and the post-punk-heavy Belmont Music & Arts Festival will bring a much-needed dose of grime to the otherwise pristine summer here in Chicago.
