Chicago

Chicago had their first hit back in 1970. The song was Make Me Smile. They were one of the first groups to combine a brass section with rock and roll. They went on to put out many more big hits including 25 or 6 to 4, Beginnings, If You Leave Me Now, Old Days and many, many more...

Since wrapping up the '80s with a lucrative revival that introduced a new generation of fans to their music, the guys in Chicago have spent the last 20 years focusing on their live act -- but it looks like they might be gearing up to release a new album.

Chicago has gone and put out a Christmas release far ahead of the holidays to get us into the spirit, the Doors and Nightranger have new DVD's and Peter Gabriel has a HUGE (Yup, Fuccillo Huge) box set out as of yesterday. Here's a summary of these four efforts and check the balances in your bank accounts because you're gonna wanna get your hands on these!

For the fifth time in their careers, Chicago and the Doobie Brothers will tour together. The two classic rock bands will be on the road playing mostly sheds and amphitheaters for 25 dates across the country between July 11 and August 26. Chicago are the headliners, but the show promises to have both bands on stage for the finale playing some of their biggest hits.

Hollywood and showbiz can be a truly hard business. Most people fell in love with Ann Curry, and now we have to say good bye. I think it's a stupid move on NBC, but then again I don't make millions of dollars a year and make these decisions. Let's get to our dirty laundry!

Percussionist Drew Hester has left Chicago. The veteran rock band posted the news on its website today (May 27), citing Hester’s decision to return to his “primary passion of playing drums” as the reason.

When a summertime trek with the Doobie Brothers kicks off later this year, Chicago will bring an extra milestone to the stage in addition to their legendary catalog of horn-driven classics: the versatile band is celebrating their 45th anniversary. And founding member and trumpet player Lee Loughnane tells Ultimate Classic Rock that the time has gone by in a “flash.”

The Doobie Brothers will celebrate their 40th anniversary as a group by teaming up with Chicago for a summer concert tour that will feature an evening full of hits from both bands and their legendary catalogs.

A select group of Chicago movie goers were gifted with a special ‘sneak pee-view’, in the form of a grown man standing up and flashing his junk for all to see just 30 minutes into a screening of Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.

People have long debated whether it’s better to give or receive during the holidays. That debate can now be laid to rest as one Chicago gentleman’s club has decided that their clientele should give and receive.
