In 1989, four punk rockers played their first show together at a Knights of Columbus hall in New Jersey. They named their band after a slogan for Doc Martens, a staple in punk footwear. 20 years later, The Bouncing Souls are still leading the punk rock scene. The band has 4 EPs and 8 studio albums under their belts, including 2009’s "20th Anniversary Series," which is being progressively released as singles and 7" vinyls throughout the year.

To celebrate their 20 years together, The Bouncing Souls have spent nearly all of 2009 tirelessly touring the world, from Alaska to Mexico, Canada to Europe, and everywhere in between. Of course, The Bouncing Souls wouldn’t throw an epic international anniversary celebration without stopping in Chicago. On Friday, November 6, the band will play Metro -- a far cry from any Knights of Columbus hall. Joining them will be Bayside and Broadway Calls. Don’t miss your chance to see this trio of killer Bs: Tickets are on sale now for $20. The show is all ages, so Bouncing Souls fans old and young can all celebrate together. Doors are at 6pm and the show starts at 7 on Friday, November 6th.

Swedish indie rockers Peter Bjorn and John stop at Metro Thursday November 12. The trio has been together for ten years this year, but it wasn't until 2006 that the group found international fame with the song "Young Folks", from their album Writer's Block. Featuring a distinctive whistle, the song became a phenomenon across the world, and the band first toured internationally. They released a follow up Seaside Rock, which was vinyl and digital only, in 2008.

Their current album, Living Thing, was released earlier this year steadily climbed the charts and received lots of praise from critics around the globe, and led to more appearances for the band, including a slot at Lollapalooza this summer. The album has already spawned a re-mix album called Re-Living Thing, featuring rappers Wale, GZA and 88 Keys, among others. It may have taken nearly a decade, but finally music fans around the world are appreciating these amazing musicians. Come see them live on November 12. El Perro Del Mar and Yourself and the Air will open. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 day of show. The show is 18 & over and starts at 9pm.
