There’s plenty to do this week. Here’s some of what we recommend:
Tue 1/31: Aymar Jean Christian hosts #OpenTVTonight at the Museum of Contemporary Art (220 E. Chicago), featuring screenings of pilots from upcoming webseries—including Brown Girls, Brujos, and Afternoon Snatch—and talks with the artists who created them. 6 PM
Thu 2/2: Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers play at the Vic (3145 N. Sheffield). Peter Margasak writes of their new album, American Band: “Pulling off this kind of album isn’t easy, but the gritty melodies and stomping rhythms only enhance the righteous messages that transcend particular moments in American history, even as they unmistakably spring from the present.” 8 PM
