3. Also at Martyr's: Jay Bennett Tribute: To honor the recently deceased singer, songwriter, producer and one-time Wilco multi-instrumentalist, the local artists Fair Herald, City at Large and Evan Holmes & Exit Ghost will perform in tribute to Bennett at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at the club at 3855 N. Lincoln. Tickets are $8. "Jay Bennett, especially his work with Wilco, has always been a pretty big inspiration to us," said Fair Herald vocalist Mike Bellis. "Everything from his raunchier-than-hell guitars on 'Being There' to the more complex melodies and keyboard arrangements on 'Summerteeth' and 'Yankee [Hotel Foxtrot]' has been a touchstone for us when we're piecing together new songs." The musicians will cover Wilco and Bennett's solo material.

Not to be disrespectful, but who are these bands?
