///Also coming up on March 4th is the debut album, Look Alive, from Chicago's Paper Arrows on the Chicago label Quell Records. Look for the release party at Schubas on March 2nd.
///If you don't have Shellac tickets there are some good back to back to back shows going on this weekend. Tonight Das Kapital plays at the Cobra Lounge, tomorrow Bread & Bottle and M.O.T.O. play at The Mutiny, and on Saturday Vacation Bible School plays at the Beat Kitchen. Of course there are probably others too. Where will you be?
