Fools’ Brew at Uptown
Calling all metal fans! Fools’ Brew is back from its Southern U.S. tour and ready to rock Chicago again. The band’s 2017 release “The Parade” is sharp, but the band’s live show is a crash course in everything to love about metal: aggressive energy, smart showmanship and great music! And when frontman Jarrett O’Cooley picks up a baseball bat mid-show, bear witness to his own brand of percussion, which you won’t soon forget. Catch him and the South Suburban band — featuring Erik Noska, Tim Daniels and Cory Davidson — this weekend at Uptown Lounge (or at LiveWire Lounge April 13). Uptown Lounge, 1136 W. Lawrence Ave., Chicago. $5. (773) 878-1136 or uptownlounge.net. 9 p.m. Saturday, March 31
