08.18.08Tony Clifton in Chicago!
Last Friday at the Chopin Theatre I had the great pleasure of catching the new act from show business legend Tony Clifton. Some of you may remember when, years ago, Andy Kaufman would embarrassingly drop Clifton’s name to try to further his own career. Well, 20 or so years later Tony is back and bigger than ever, and when was the last time you saw Kaufman doing anything? I guess Tony Clifton proves that it pays to be a nice guy.
Clifton is touring with his Kiss-My-Ass-Katrina-Orchestra and a troupe of very lovely burlesque dancers. Last night was the end of the Chicago run, but you can experience the magic in Burlington, Vermont on September 9th and New York City on September 10th. Proceeds from the show go toward Comic Relief’s work on behalf of artists affected by Hurricane Katrina.

08.12.08The Eternals & On You: Saturday at The Hideout
This Saturday at the Hideout, be sure not to miss The Eternals with On You. Below, a live shot of dynamic Eternals vocalist Damon Locks, and a publicity photo of On You’s Stan Wood and Jamie Drier (it was Stan and Jamie’s inspired idea to parody Annie Leibovitz’s John and Yoko Rolling Stone cover).

08.09.08From the archives: Califone proof sheet
Califone is playing a free show at Millenium Park on Monday. You should go–you need to get out more. A few years back I photographed Califone with a Kodak Stereo camera. Here’s a scan of the proof sheet.
