1. The Clean at Lincoln Hall on Monday night.
Loerzel: “The Clean’s concert on Monday, Aug. 18, at Lincoln Hall was one of those shows that leave you scratching your head and asking: What just happened? The legendary New Zealand band doesn’t come around all that often – the last time was a show at the Bottom Lounge in 2010 – so any appearance they make in Chicago is an event.”

Local Music Notebook: Draiman Defends Israel
Plus: Enuff’s Not Enough; Crowdfunding Kath
“Disturbed frontman David Draiman has slammed ‘the mainstream media’ for its ‘biased, libelous, and often erroneous portrayal of Israel’ in the current conflict in Gaza and has accused a number of the world’s biggest news organizations of ‘set[ting] the stage for a new Holocaust,'” Blabbermouth reports.
“Draiman – who has extensive family in Israel, including his brother, Jerusalem-based folk rock and ambient musician Ben Draiman, as well as his grandmother – took to his Twitter account on Friday (August 8) to write: ‘The mainstream media’s biased, libelous, and often erroneous portrayal of Israel in the current conflict has fueled a wave of anti-Semitism, the likes of which I have not witnessed in my lifetime. Well done, CNN, BBC, Reuters [and] MSNBC, you’ve set the stage for a new Holocaust. Maybe you’d be happy/satisfied when the extremist nutbags you defend so much, who eagerly martyr their own children who chant for the death of all Jews, not just the Israeli’s, and whose ethics, morals and values stand diametrically opposed to your own liberal views of freedom of religion, gay marriage, pro choice, and even democracy itself, strip the region of the only bastion of true liberty that exists in the region. Well, guess what? Never again. Jews aren’t so easy to fuck with anymore.'”
