Wednesday's best bets: Secret Colours at Beauty Bar, dancing at the Chicago Botanic Garden

Posted in #Chicago blog by Jeremy Mikula on Aug 17, 2011 at 12:00am

MUSIC - Secret Colours
Secret Colours whips up a highly reverential racket, mixing the stoned bliss of the Roses, the Merseybeat-mining swagger of Oasis and the leather-clad fuzz of the Mary Chain. Catch the local quintet at the Beauty Bar's pizza-fueled weekly jump-off. Beauty Bar, 10pm, FREE!

ART & DESIGN - "Underground" 
This roundup of zines, comics and prints made by 50-plus female, transgender and gender-nonconforming artists from around the U.S. closes tomorrow. Woman Made Gallery (685 N Milwaukee Ave, 312-738-0400, womanmade.org). Noon–7pm. FREE.

DANCE/KIDS - Dancin’ Sprouts at the Chicago Botanic Garden
Bring young ones with happy feet up to the BoGar for live music on Wednesday evenings through Aug 31. There's no additional charge and picnicking is allowed on the Esplanade. For further details, go to chicagobotanicgarden.org/forfamilies. Chicago Botanic Garden (1000 Lake-Cook Rd, Glencoe; 847-835-5440; chicagobotanic.org). 5:30–7:30pm; FREE, parking $20.
