Breakers MKII
Northwest suburbanites who are still mourning last year's loss of indie music shop Record Breakers, say hello to its new incarnation. Reggie's Live, at 2105 S. State St., Chicago, is a record store, bar and grill and an all-ages/18+ music venue under a single roof. This Saturday, local country punks The Pullers start the live band schedule in earnest. Upcoming headliners include Murder By Death, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Shock Stars, The Avengers, Shonen Knife and AIDS Wolf. For more info visit www.reggieslive.com.

The shows start at 8 p.m. Thursday and Sept. 21, and are promised to last about eight hours each. Admission is $15. Call (773) 769-5483.
