2. Get Wild While Watching WildChild at Tailgater's

Head over to to see the band Chicago Rocker Magazine is calling the 'Best New Band of 2011'!

From a :

WildChild plays all of your favorite guitar-rock anthems by bands such as Kiss, Bon Jovi and Guns N’ Roses…but it’s their hard-rocking, high-energy renditions of songs by artists as diverse as Kings of Leon, The Beastie Boys, The Killers, Usher and more that make them a true stand-out in the Chicago music scene.

WildChild knows how to work their audience with a stage presence that can only be described as infectious. The crowd is usually singing the lyrics back to the band so loudly that Jimmy could take a break…not that you could get him off the stage! These high-energy performances combined with their ever-expanding set list and legions of loyal fans make for nights filled with endless fist-pumping, dancing and drinking until the last amp is unplugged. 

The concert is tonight from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
