While the big-press festivals have passed (and so has Shark Week), Chicago still has plenty of worthy music showcases and (nominal) animal carnage to offer. The third annual Mauled By Tigers Fest kicks off tonight, showcasing 40-plus punk bands in four days. The Ergs! headline the opening ceremonies with snotty, original recipe pop-punk. Other sure bets: the Jawbreaker-style singalongs of Canadian Rifle, cow-punk ramblers This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb, and (most of all) the woozy surf-gaze of recent In the Red signees Vivian Girls. There’s much, much more, so check the schedule before the feeding frenzy begins.
