Esteemed indie label Touch & Go will celebrate its 25th birthday with a Sept. 8-10 bash at the Hideout in its Chicago homebase. Twenty-five past and present Touch & Go acts will perform during the party, including Calexico, CocoRosie, Enon, Ted Leo/Pharmacists, Shellac, Pinback, Black Heart Procession and the original lineups of Didjits and Scratch Acid.
Proceeds from the shows will be donated to the Chicago-based Literacy Works, Tuesday’s Child and the Thomas Drummond Elementary School.
I’ve seen Shellac once, like back in the day. Like, seven years ago or something crazy like that. Man, I’m getting old.
