Over the past few months we've seen OFFICE undergo some surprising changes that included personnel overhauls and a more adventurous sonic direction. They've played a handful of local shows over the past few months -- including another appearance at Lollapalooza -- but this month they are reemerging in force with a monthly residency at Schubas on Monday nights through the entire month of October. (O.K., we'll say it, Rocktober!) In following with the bands recent turns away from "business as usual" all of the shows this month with be absolutely free!

A new album is already done but there's no word on when it will actually come out, so these shows are an excellent chance to see what the band has been up to and where they're headed. From what we've seen and heard from the band recently, OFFICE is a band that's going to keep listeners on their toes and utterly engaged.

OFFICE plays tonight and every Monday in October at Schubas, 3159 N Southport, 9 p.m., FREE, 21+
