Before the Lollapalooza train rolls through town next weekend and commandeers the collective attention span of the city's concertgoers, try to get out of the house and support the local clubs and venues that are here year-round. I swear you'll feel better about yourself.

This week's List of course has its fair share of recommendations, and there's also the great lineup at Wicker Park Fest to keep in mind. But in a city this big, you can always find more shows that warrant attention. Check out my day-by-day breakdown of the week's other notable happenings after the jump:
