Kill Hannah frontman Mat Devine chatted with Do312 last week about his experiences as a cast member of the Broadway disaster-in-the-making Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. It's notable for being one of the few positive things we've read about the production since professional theatre critics got tired of waiting fo the show to finish previews and filed a torrent of scathing reviews last week. more ›

Mat Devine is headed to Broadway. No, we can't believe it either. more ›

Police have found Kill Hanna's touring van and trailer today. We're awaiting word from their publicist if any of the band's missing gear was recovered. [via GB] more ›

Kill Hannah has put out a call for volunteers to appear in a video they're shooting for "Boys & Girls" this Sunday. They are looking for: more ›

Some things to do this weekend, and into next, as an excuse to dress in costume. Rare and fine wine auction house Hart Davis Hart is holding an auction of private collections from both coasts today from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. at Tru. The auction is free to attend, but anyone taking the time to head to Tru and not eat is an idiot, quite frankly. Lunch today at Tru is fixed-priced at $75.... more ›

We have long been vocal critics of The Redwalls, our primary gripe being that the group never really grew out of being the Beatles cover band they started out as. more ›

Poor widdle Redwalls. more ›

Things are definitely winding down, and our cash is disappearing at an alarming rate. That’s why we’re not heartbroken that there aren’t too many shows this week to distract us from all that shopping we still have left to do. A free show will help alleviate those wallet pains. Thursday night at the Metro check out GZA from Wu-Tang Clan for nothing but an R.S.V.P. to www.scion.com/livemetro. Fyre Department and DJ Klever round out the... more ›

We have no beef with The Chicago Tribune’s primary rock critic, Greg Kot. We’ve never accused him of exactly being cutting edge, but we do believe he writes insightful and honest critiques for the most part. Unfortunately, since Matt Lurie left the paper, the Trib had been pretty devoid of anything approaching decent music coverage. They’re consistently behind the trends and most of their freelancers would be better used to compose press releases instead of... more ›

Few things are certain in this world. But Chicagoist readers getting riled up about smoking is one of them. more ›

This just in. If you were planning on catching The Assassins when they open for Kill Hannah next week (because why else would you be at a Kill Hannah show?) you’re out of luck since the concert is plum sold out. However you can count yourself a lucky ducky since they’re playing at Darkroom tonight! This crew is a favorite of ours and their shows are always incredible so strap on the galoshes, wrap around... more ›

MOBfest is dubious at best in its claims of being a major player in the record industry even though it continues to infer that it has helped create album deals for Rachael Yamagata, The Killers and Kill Hannah. It’s pretty obvious that all of those groups had things in the works, though, long before they hit the stage at what is currently Chicago’s only music festival that claims to draw in the big label A&R... more ›
