50K Check celebrates the vinyl release of “50 Thousand Dollar Check” with an event at Shuga on December 13. To talk about the album (and band) are members Mason Payne (guitar), Kisira Hill (bass) and Kelly Torch (vocals).

As we chat, we enjoy fantastic food from Lilac Tiger (1742 W. Division St.). Lilac Tiger delivers an exceptional South Asian dining experience (and if you’re enjoying the food in the restaurant instead of the car, a world-class beverage experience).

Go support 50K Check at Shuga (1272 N. Milwaukee) on 12/13, and treat yourself to dinner at nearby-ish Lilac Tiger before or after the show!

Hey, hello, how was your day?

“Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles,” originally released 20 years ago, has grown to become a fan-favorite Local H album, and remains the favorite of band leader Scott Lucas. In his words, “P.J. Soles” was “the work of a band that had simply ceased to give a fuck.”

Scott returns to Car Con Carne to take a look back at P.J. Soles in its anniversary year, and we go track-by-track through it.

Specifically, each and every one of these songs:

Where Are They Now?


Everyone Alive

California Songs

Dick Jones

Money on the Dresser

P.J. Soles

How’s the Weather Down There?

Buffalo Trace

Heaven on the Way Down

Hey, Rita

Heavy Metal Bakesale

Mellowed

That’s What They All Say

Halcyon Days (Where Were You Then?)

If you’re a Local H fan, or simply a fan of music deep dives, this is a can’t-miss episode. I’ve interviewed Scott many times over the past 30 years, and this is easily my favorite of the bunch.

See Local H play “P.J. Soles” in their New Year’s Eve show at Bottom Lounge!

Quiet Pterodactyl celebrates five years of non-profit work providing music and arts experience and education to the Chicago community. Founder and President Trey Elder joins us for this episode.

Also joining us is Angel Bat Dawid, a remarkable composer, clarinetist, singer & spiritual jazz soothsayer. Just a few years ago, the Chicago tribune named her the “Chicagoan of the Year in Jazz.” She’s the coolest.

Fueling the conversation this time around are unbelievably tasty sandwiches and sides from Jerry’s Sandwiches (jerryssandwiches.com), 4739 N Lincoln. I couldn’t get enough of the Harland S sandwich (Buttermilk-marinated fried chicken, American, pickle, mayo, Crystal hot sauce, lettuce, challah).

Join the celebration:

Quiet Pterodactyl 5 Year Anniversary Party

with Silent Auction Fundraiser

Sunday, Nov 24th - Color Club 4146 N Elston

7-11pm - 21+ Only

Angel Bat Dawid, plus JOBS, 4Dgirlz, DJ All the Way Kay
