1. See something fabulously psychosexual
Athens band Of Montreal knows how to put on a show. Fronted by psychosexual indie rocker Kevin Barnes (and, at shows, often one of his stage personas like his glam rock alter-ego Georgie Fruit), the long-rocking band’s latest album Aureate Gloom delivers a prog psych vibe you will want to witness live tonight at Lincoln Hall. (Lincoln Hall, 2424 N Lincoln Ave, 7pm. $25)
Superheroes aren’t restricted to mega-movie franchises and comic book pages. At Marvel Universe Live!, more than 25 Marvel icons take the stage in an action-packed, aerial stunt–heavy performances bringing us an original storyline with familiar masked faces. (United Center, 1901 W Madison St, 7pm. $25–$150)
Jen Kirkman is a New York Times bestselling author, a regular on Chelsea Lately, a hammered historian of Drunk History and a comic you should know. Laugh at her expense as she brings her self-deprecating humor to Up Comedy for a three-day run, starting tonight. (Up Comedy Club, 230 W North Ave, 8pm. $20)
