Mekons at Hideout

The Mekons—the UK post-punk legends who've been defiantly weird since 1977—are bringing their genre-defying chaos to Hideout's intimate stage. You'll catch two sets of raw, unpredictable alt-country-meets-punk energy in this Bucktown dive where the crowds are serious and the drinks are cheap. Get there early; this is the kind of show that fills fast and rewards people who actually know their music history.
