LIZ AT THE LOUNGE AX - THE REAL DEAL
Liz Phair is set to play at the Lounge Ax in her own backyard Chicago. The date is set for Sunday, March 14th. Advance tickets for the show will go on sale at the bar only starting Thursday, February 18, 1999, from 9 PM until 2 AM -- the cost $15 per ticket. Limit TWO tickets per person. You MUST BE 21 or over to get in.

This is not an "official" Liz Phair show (since Liz's management prefers that this show isn't publicized). Some confusion has occurred, probably because Liz's management was not involved in the booking of this show, and as a result, they were not in any position to give clear answers when asked about it.

Sally Timms opens the evening and is followed by a Hot Damn fashion show (by Liz'z sister-in-law), with spinning by DJ U-Gene. Liz Phair will play a full solo acoustic set.

For more details, check out the Lounge Ax website (although I have heard that the Lounge Ax will remove all mention of this show from their website at Liz's management's request).

It appears that the show is officially sold out (unless you can find some scalpers)... [Special thanks to Martin Hertz, Russ Waterhouse at Matador Records, and Tony Atoms at the Lounge Ax for passing along this information.]
