Tomorrow Never Knows 2008
Ohhhh, to be in Chicago in the middle of January.
Tomorrow Never Knows, Schubas’ annual mini-indie-winter festival, returns to its traditional Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend slot in 2008. Now in its 4th year, TNK will take over Schubas from Wednesday, January 16 through Sunday, January 20 for a five-night stand featuring Schubas’ favorites and some of the best up-and-coming talent the industry has to offer. In addition to daily four band bills, festivities include Schubas’ DJs Upstairs each night, as well as two afternoon family shows with Paul Green’s Chicago School of Rock Music on January 19 and 20. Showcasing artists like John Vanderslice, Bobby Conn, Cloud Cult, White Williams, The Walkmen , The M’s, NOMO, Illinois, Ohmega Watts, and White Rabbits, TNK ’08 is sure to continue on the fest’s tradition of providing Chicago with five nights of quality indie acts in the somewhat barren music month of January.
TNK’08 tickets are available Friday, November 16 at Noon on Schubas.com. Fans have the option to purchase admission to individual shows for $15 (family show tickets are $10) or take in all five nights and two family shows with a Five-Day-Pass for $55.
Past TNK acts include Tapes ‘n Tapes , Dr. Dog , Margot & The Nuclear So And So’s , Magnolia Electric Co., French Kicks, The Ponys, The Spinto Band, Chin Up Chin Up, Saturday Looks Good To Me, and Dirty On Purpose. The Tomorrow Never Knows 2008 line-up appears below. A few bands and all DJs remain to be announced.
