Gossip Wolf first reported that Empty Bottle owner Bruce Finkelman closed a deal on Pilsen’s Thalia Hall back in July, and tonight the four-story landmark hosts its first public concert—Animal Collective’s Panda Bear headlines and eccentric NYC noisemaker DJ Dog Dick (aka Max Eisenberg) opens the show.
