Forget about Black Friday... Black Wednesday is where all the action is. In what is considered one of the biggest nights to be out and about, this year keeps with the tradition of going out and doing everything in your power to wake up the next morning with a defeated liver, and then gorging yourself on Thanksgiving food.
Wouldn't you know, the Double Door is giving you chance to save a little money, or at least the opportunity to spend that cover charge at the bar. Yes, a free show with two Chicago heavyweights, Chinup Chinup and Catfish Haven. Chinup Chinup is fresh off a 2 week tour out West with one of the newer signings to Matador Records, The Ponys. Catfish Haven have been busy finishing up their follow up record to 2006's Tell Me, on Secretly Canadian Records. As an added bonus, Tight Phantomz frontman Mike Lust will join join Catfish Haven for this set, so expect some 6 string pyrotechnics.
Any way you look it, this show is the perfect beginning to your 4 day weekend. 2 great Chicago bands for free means more booze for you, and to wash it all down tomorrow with some football and turkey makes the Thanksgiving weekend sound even better.

The show was great. Catfish Haven sounded really good(I hadn't seem them in a few years), and you could tell Chinup had just come off a tour (ie. everything sounded really tight and they were spot on.)
