The Reader’s Agenda: Sun 9/2

• Jerry Gonzalez

Looking for something to do today? Agenda‘s got you covered:

Luca Cimarusti suggests checking out Puffy Areolas, “a confrontational seven-headed beast, using abrasive saxophones, echo boxes, recklessly tossed guitars, relentless repetition, and a semi-improvised vibe to create a disorienting psychedelic cacophony,” at Lincoln United Methodist Church. Running, Zath, and Lil Tits open.

Looking for something a little less chaotic? Head on over to Grant Park for the Chicago Jazz Festival.

Chicago Dramatists present the play A Steady Rain, which Dan Jakes calls a “punch-to-the-gut cop drama.”
