ON THE BILL: Since assembling in the windy city in 1997, Eric D. Johnson’s outfit, Fruit Bats, has held it down as a versatile institution of indie rock, traversing sounds from the likes of lo-fi, disco, folk and more. On Wednesday, July 17, Johnson and company will be joined by fellow Chicago group Valebol at the Fox Theatre for a night of musical bliss.
