It’s finally beginning to feel like spring here in Chicago and there’s no better way to celebrate the warm weather than heading indoors to see a band play in a dark room. Local garage rockers White Mystery return to Hideout on Friday while Champaign, IL rockers Elsinore make a stop at Subterranean on Saturday with support from Minor Characters and Brother George.
