Chicago Favorite Bands List 03/12/96
The truth is out there
Chicago Favorite Bands List
Vol IV, Issue 11 March 12, 1996
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever take a puck for the team? Hurts about as much as a week without
the ChiFav list! This list is made up from submissions by people like
you. If you have a favorite local band in the Chicagoland area, send
in their upcoming show dates, and they will appear here in the list.
Sorry, I didn't see any bands last week. And as for this week, I
don't know what I'm doing yet (I should be in Austin, TX, but that's
another story).
Thanks to the continued contributions this week. Keep on sending them in!
