Pitchfork

Not unlike those times when your auntie in Ravenswood overnights a freeze-dried deep-dish out to you in Bangor, a little taste of Chicago is heading your way. Two fine acts from the City of Big Shoulders-- The Ponys and Chin Up Chin Up, if you must know-- are taking it on the road in tandem this November.

The Ponys, of course, are still reverberating from this spring's release of Turn the Lights Out, while Chin Up Chin Up plan to hit us with a new disc late next year. Both bands have other dates besides, including the Ponys' forthcoming dish-like run with the Spoon.
