As posted by Chris Anzalone on Instagram, here’s Chris (and Freda!) on drums, together with Ed Valauskas, Kay Hanley, Scott Luck, a horn section and more soundchecking before the Hot Stove Cool Music event in Chicago over the weekend.

And here’s a bit from the show with even more on stage:

Other things of note you may have missed from Juliana’s shows this week:

  • A preview feature on the Chicago event by Jim Ryan for Forbes including comments from Juliana:

    “Art, music and sports are all really important to children and adolescents. They were all really crucial and interconnected for me. I had access to all of these things while I was in school and I made use of all of them. And I really feel like without them, I would’ve been completely lost,” she said. “I was a very shy adolescent. I didn’t really know how to communicate. But I was able to be with my peers while playing music or sports or in art classes. And I think it’s a tragedy when those things are taken away from kids. Because there are kids who have no place to go or their home environment is bad. So having a place to go to play music or draw or kick a soccer ball around, that’s crucial. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I think it’s tragic,” said Hatfield.
