Tuesday Afternoon Diversion: Rock It To Russia

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Feb 10, 2009 9:00PM

We've already spewed forth our admiration for Chicago new-wave-punk-garage-rock quartet Mr. Russia, but we just wanted to alert you to their CD release show for their debut album -- Teething -- at Metro this Friday. To whet everyone's appetite in advance of the big day the group has cobbled together a video for lead single "Skipping Hearts."


Mr. Russia's CD release show with Prairie Cartel, Lasers And Fast And Shit, and Apteka this Friday, February 13, at Metro, 3730 N Clark, 9 p.m., $8, 18+
