Taste of Randolph: The Changes, Walkmen, Smoking Popes

[cstpeter]

Just went to a great lineup at a fun Chicago street festival three blocks from my place...it's a blast when you can roll out and see three great indie bands and thousands of drunk people...then stop home for a couple beers and a Club Polk post or two...then head out again. God I love Chicago.

But back to the music: Walkmen were bad ass, as were Smoking Popes, but seen them one too many times. Changes sounded like poo.

The Walkmen are kick-ass, indeed. Glad to hear you had a good time.

Thanks ZB. First time I've seen the Walkmen--they had great stage presence with their suits and upright piano and all.

Yup... first saw 'em opening for The Strokes.
