THE BLANK GENERATION

Go-Go Blackouts @ Little Steven's RnR Festival. 

For you rock and roll pretenders living in the Champaign-Urbana area, I've got good news: The Blackouts are back in black. After zeroing in on a new bassist and shacking up together four nights a week for the past few weeks, CU's own rock and roll insurgency will be playing live for the first time in six weeks—which in townie time seems like a year-and-a-half. Catch a band on the rebound as they open for The Makers, Sub Pop's answer to 107.1 adding the New York Dolls to its playlist. Locals The Situation also open, complete with their own recent addition, Matt Filippo, on bass. And, in fine fashion, The Highdive has dropped the admission fee from eight bones to five! Not too shabby, even if the go-go girls aren't guaranteed to show. Monday, Oct. 18, 10pm, The Highdive.

Are you sure you aren't past the point in pregnancy where rock and roll can harm the fetus? What if he pops out in a few weeks sportin' the hail satan sign with his left hand?

Fortunatly I am at the point where he can hear it and rock out. He really enjoys hearing Uncle Mike rock out on the drums, and I figure since the Makers are practically family, he better get used to hearing them..

I mean Kim Gordon doesn't hold back and Coco came out ok.

But thanks for your concern..
