Talk:Chic-a-Go-Go

Untitled

For anybody looking in, just a quick note on the relevance of this show and why it ought to be included in Wikipedia:

It's been running on Chicago public access television for twelve years, with over 500 episodes, and must be one of the longest-running such shows out there.
It played a significant role in launching the career of OK Go, an internationally famous rock band.
It's featured a lot of other famous/notable musical guests
It's an important part of the Chicago independent music scene.

I have to add a lot of stuff still, please give me a little time to beef it up with references (Chicago Reader, Illinois Entertainer, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, USA Today, etc.) --- Mike (talk) 16:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
