Jeff Pezzati's intensely melodic vocals were one of
Naked Raygun's signature attributes and, in 1999, Pezzati (also the early
bassist for another Windy City institution, Big Black) decided to lend
his voice to a new project, the fiery, heavy Post Punk/Post Hardcore
crew The Bomb, alongside guitarist Jeff Dean. Working with underground
icons like Steve Albini (a longtime friend of Pezzati's) and Jawbox's J
Robbins on production, The Bomb has sporadically released EPs and
long-players over the past decade-plus

Music Tonight: New Orleans Jazz/Funk wunderkind Trombone Shorty grooves into Oakley tonight for a show at the 20th Century Theater. The young musician (who appeared on the HBO series Treme) will be joined by his band Orleans Avenue, delivering his unique mix of Funk, Jazz and Hip Hop. Last month, Shorty released For True, his followup to last year's breakthrough, Backatown, which spent nine weeks atop the Jazz charts and was nominated for a Grammy. For True is loaded with special guests, including Kid Rock, Warren Haynes, Jeff Beck, The Rebirth Brass Band and Lenny Kravitz, who gave Shorty his start as a member of his touring horn section in 2005. Showtime tonight is 8 p.m. and tickets are $25 at the door. Below, check out the video for new album track "Do To Me."
