Smith Westerns @ Lollapalooza 2011 (more by Grant MacAllister)

Winter Escape, an annual event thrown by Vitamin Water and Do312 will take place on December 2nd in the Fender Ballroom of the Hard Rock Hotel from 9PM - 2AM.

The lineup features Chicago's own Smith Westerns, along with Franki Chan (who was just here on the Check Yo Ponytail tour), Black Light Saints, Windy City Soul Club, and Kirby Kaiser. The Red Eye's Ernest Wilkins will host.

RSVP now for no cover and open bar from 9PM - 11PM.

The Check Yo Ponytail Tour will hit Chicago's The Mid this Friday (10/28), featuring Spank Rock, Big Freedia, The Death Set, Pictureplane, and Franki Chan. Tickets are still available, though if you can perform what Pictureplane has described above, winning a pair of tickets might be in your future.

Hit the drawing board!
