If nothing else, you should at least go see Chess Club to see some of the fastest fingers in Lawrence.

We caught them at the Bottleneck on Saturday, where the three-piece ripped apart the stage. The entire event served as a benefit for ALS, and featured a fantastic lineup with Glue Chords, Iron Guts Kelly, and Hipshot Killer. This is important, because not all bands can organize a benefit while simultaneously bridging together new and established acts from Lawrence and Kansas City.
