Following the massive success of their winter local music series, TWO, Port City Music Hall is at it again with another slew of $2 shows on Tuesday nights (mostly), which kicked off last night with what looked to be a packed house (I only saw in passing, on my way to what turned out to be a sold out Clash Of The Titans at Empire – congrats to the Talking Heads Band!).

Word is that the TWO Local Music Series at Port City Music Hall (Tuesdays, two bands, $2 cover, $2 beers) is going well (see photos from last week’s Dilly Dilly + Lady Lamb show there)… and in the interest of a bit of self-promo, here’s the flyer (above) for tomorrow’s installment of the concert series, featuring Marie Stella (the band I play in) with Metal Feathers. MF have a new jam up on their myspace called “City Hall” which I highly recommend you go and listen to, like right now. Very good.
However, before that, there’s tonight. Chicago’s Maps & Atlases are at SPACE with openers Brenda and Dead Man’s Clothes, who will be making their SPACE debut, so come out and support them!

It was great to see Port City Music Hall filled with so many people for this double bill of local musicians on Tuesday, February 2. Lady Lamb The Beekeeper and Dilly Dilly each played two sets – partially together – as part of the venue’s TWO local music series. Photos by Bryan Bruchman. Read on for the full gallery after the jump. Read on…
