Are you a Chicago-area fan of indie, underground rock, imports, and other "non-major label" music? We'll be meeting up to see shows by interesting bands at smaller venues like the Vic, the Riv, Metro, the Empty Bottle, etc. Members can suggest bands they've heard, heard about, or even just heard of. The plan is to have some fun listening to indie rock, discover stuff we may not have heard before, and meet some new people.

We now have our own internet radio station, WCIRF-- pull up User ID WCIRF on www.last.fm which features a library of music from live acts that have performed at past and future meetups-- "loved" songs are from the OMG Have You Heard This Song? thread. Meetup attendees can also follow last minute venue, time, and line-up changes on twitter-- follow us on www.twitter.com/cirfmug.

Who doesn't love some fun pop/rock from our neighbors up north and across the sea? I'm anticipating a great show--come see Wild Beasts and Still Life Still with me at Schubas!
