A Justin Currie gig scouting report
Last night I went to Chicago to get a little advance taste of Friday's Justin Currie and Angie Mattson show at Shank Hall. On the second night of a two-week U.S. tour, Currie played two sets at the intimate Schuba's and Michigan's Mattson opened both of them.

Gig round-up: Chelsea Hotel sets perfect scene for Fever Marlene
Leave it to Fever Marlene, perhaps Milwaukee's best band at the moment, to take an unusual approach to its second disc. If fans expect "White China," which is officially released next week, to be more of the same, they will be sorely disappointed.
