4. Willie Blackfinger.
“Blackfinger, the band featuring former Trouble vocalist Eric Wagner, has announced the addition of Chicago bassist Willie Max to the group’s ranks,” Blabbermouth reports.
“Willie, a member of long-running Chicago metal outfit Shadoz Edge, as well as Spillage (featuring Earthen Grave’s Tony Spillman), replaces Ben Smith, who has moved on to pursue other musical interests.”

5. Nicht Nachtmystium.
“If you’re following metal news at all right now, you’ve no doubt heard about Blake Judd of Nachtmystium’s recent legal problems,” Brooklyn Vegan reports.
“Judd was arrested on October 5 on theft charges; though he’s only being charged with misdemeanor theft of less than $500 worth of property, his bail has been set for $25,000. Not exactly chump change for the black metal milieu.
“This development was no doubt troubling for Metal Insider, whose CMJ showcase at Europa on 10/16 featured Nachtmystium as the headlining band. Earlier today, Metal Insider announced that Judd’s court date has been moved to November 1, thereby ensuring that he will not be out of jail in time to play the showcase.”

7. Sweet Home St. Louis.
“Die-hard music lovers, casual fans and globe-trotting tourists readily embrace Chicago as the home of the blues, spurred in large part by the Great Migration northward of Southern blacks in the early and mid-20th century,” AP reports.
“Robert Johnson, the genre’s godfather, famously sang of ‘Sweet Home Chicago,’ and the Chicago Blues Festival draws more than 100,000 people each summer.
“But come next year, the National Blues Museum won’t find a home in Chicago, but in a rival Midwest city 300 miles to the south.”
