We’re proud to announce LITTLE BROTHER live WEDNESDAY MAY 19th 2010 at DOUBLE DOOR in Chicago!  It’ll be a legendary, yet bitter-sweet affair as they tour on the heels of LEFTBACK, the duo’s proclaimed last album together. 1773 will be performing along with local hero Pugslee Atomz for this epic concert which may be Little Brother’s last Chicago show forever!
