The Week In Chicago Rock

You shoulda been there.

1. Reigning Sound at the Empty Bottle on Monday night.

Loerzel: "[T]he set felt like a nonstop hit parade. Fans packed the floor in front of the stage, dancing, swaying and singing along with one song after another . . . There's something matter-of-fact about the way [Greg] Cartwright performs his songs in concert. There's plenty of passion in his voice, but he doesn't bother jumping around and making any rock-star gestures. He just delivers the songs. And what songs they are."
