Item Description
A critically acclaimed guided tour by van of Chicago alternative rock music history from 1980-2005. The 4-hour tour will begin at 1 p.m. on the Saturday of your choice and be presented by Phil Rockrohr, local musician and founder of Chicago Music Tour, Inc. Sit back, enjoy a beverage, listen to great music, and hear fascinating tales about post-punk pioneers Ministry and Big Black, alternative rock icons Smashing Pumpkins and Wilco, and the Wicker Park music scene that launched Fall Out Boy, Urge Overkill, Veruca Salt, Plain White T’s and Liz Phair.
Beginning in 1980, Chicago became the home of truly “alternative” rock when punk’s Do It Yourself ethic inspired local fans to launch record stores, record labels and music clubs that gave birth to internationally acclaimed rock stars. We visit clubs, homes and notorious sites where your favorite musicians worked, lived and…well, acted like rock stars. Whether you’re a casual fan or hardcore fanatic, this
music-filled tour offers stories and sites we’re sure you’ve never heard or seen before.
The tour begins and ends at The Kerryman pub and restaurant, 661 N. Clark St., where drinks and food are available for purchase. We visit sites where alcohol is served and you are invited to share your alternative rock stories with the group.
Item Special Note
Cost of drinks is not included. You must be 21 years or older to go on the tour
