Touch and Go Adds Art Show to Fest As if a whole weekend of quality live music weren't enough, Touch and Go just announced the icing on their 25th Anniversary birthday cake: an art show featuring works by 12 of the label's artists.

As previously reported, Touch and Go celebrates 25 years of record-releasing goodness with a three day festival (September 8-10) featuring scads of T&G bands at Chicago's Hideout's annual block party. Set times were announced earlier this week.

The art show will take place the week prior to the Block Party (September 4-8) at Chicago's Open End Gallery and feature paintings, sculpture, photographs, and etchings by the following way-too-talented people: Jon Langford (Mekons), Eric Bemis (Rico Bell/Mekons), Tim Kerr (Big Boys), Mick Turner (Dirty Three), Bianca Casady (CocoRosie), Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), Tom Greenhaigh (Mekons), Tara Jane O'Neil, Sam Coomes (Quasi), Tim Harriss (Kepone), Jeff Mueller (Shipping News), and Jason Noble (Shipping News).
