The musical chameleons in Tributosaurus give their propers to the best band to ever come out of Rockford tonight, with two shows at Martyrs'.

We're surprised this hadn't happened sooner, but it's happening now and they're touching base on every phase of the band's career, from the early cult classics to the Live at Budokan era and even their late-80s commercial renaissance, fueled by factory songwriters like Diane Warren and Desmond Child. (We're not sure if we want to see Matt Spiegel and company tackle "The Flame," but we understand why it merits inclusion.)

Tickets to both the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows are still available online at the Martyrs' website. Cost is $20. (3855 N. Lincoln Ave.)

If you have an event for inclusion in "Pencil This In," please contact Tankboy (for A&E-related listings), Anthony (for tastings, dinners and food and drink-related events) or tips[at]chicagoist[dot]com.
