Empty Bottle 33 ⅓rd Anniversary Concerts
Keep a music venue at the top of its game for as many years as a vinyl record spins at RPMs, and you'll find a very cheeky anniversary to celebrate. The venerated Empty Bottle has long stood as a high water mark for indie bands, a haven for experimental acts and a welcoming watering hole for Chicagoans writ large—not to mention the home of Peg, the venue's bar cat-turned-mascot. In celebration of its 33 ⅓rd anniversary, the Bottle is hosting a series of concerts that welcome the return of memorable acts from the venue's storied past, like psych-pop sensation Cindy Lee, twangy soul outfit Whitney and dream pop quad The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.
