Record release show — without the records
Well tonight’s Soft Targets show at the Mutiny was supposed to be the record release show for the new 45, but we still don’t have the records. (In fact, they still haven’t been pressed! Word from the plant, simply: “Seven-inches are backed up.”) We’ll let you know more when we know more, but hopefully we’ll have the vinyl soon. In the meantime, tonight’s free show happens as planned, there just won’t be any new records to buy. (But that means you’ll have more money for those frosty mugs of beer.)
One final caveat: the real Soft Targets are playing tonight at the Mutiny, 2428 N Western Ave; strangely, Tallahassee, Florida band (myspace), strangely also called the Soft Targets, will be playing an unrelated show just across the street from the Mutiny. Don’t be fooled! It is to the Mutiny that you want to go to see the real Soft Targets from Chicago.
