If it seems like just months ago that Jimmy Eat World played in Milwaukee at The Pabst Theater, that's because it was -- it was July 25 and I blogged about the whole thing here.

During the show Jim Adkins and crew played some new material, giving us a few hints about the yet-to-be-released new album, "Chases This Light," but wasn't willing to do any interviews or talk about what the band had been up to for the better part of four years. The show, for the most part, was heavy on the emo-slathered nostalgia.

Now that "Chases This Light" has officially surfaced -- Oct. 16 on Interscope -- things might be a little different when the band returns to Milwaukee on Dec. 16 to play the Riverside Theater.

This is a big one, folks. Joining Jimmy are nu-metal gurus Coheed and Cambria, the danceable Shiny Toy Guns and poppy emo dudes in The Starting Line for what they're billing as a "Big Snow Show."

Tickets are $34.50 and are available at the Riverside Theater box office, 116 W. Wisconsin Ave., or online at riversidetheater.org.
