![]() Then I smoked a nice bong and went to bed. I went home and puked from all the heat and loud noise. Pretty damn cool that I went home with 3 new CD’s from some really cool bands. The drummer said that they couldn’t give any away and that they had to make all the money for them. Hopefully I can get the chance to play with them again. They are extremely noisy and totally use noisy changes with lots of screaming over all the noise. My old band Socially Unacceptable played with them 4 times and knew them very well so he remembered me from that. The bass player used to be in Suburban Refugee (RIP). They are a 5 piece with 2 frontmen who both get really crazy on stage and scream great. They are a 4 piece with a girl lead singer. ![]() They fucked it up but said that they just learned it yesterday. They played every song but 1 and ended with a Fugazi cover of Merchandise. Typical Chicago style punk rock Fighters, Hitmen style. This was their 15th time playing the Fireside. I personally think we played the best at this show but I know I’ll say that after the next one and the one after that………………….blah blah blah………………… Next was FID. We didn’t really bring anyone to see us but the audience was very amused and gave us mad props. It lets u move around freely and mine rarely fucks up. Anyone who plays guitar should play wireless. We’re traveling to Fullerton Avenue in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood to visit a bowling alley with a rich history as the center of Chicagos punk rock scene in the 90s. I ran around far from the stage with my bass on. See the hate letter page on our website to read his letter to Eric. Eric wanted to play it cause every band had a Misfits sticker on something. ![]() We opened with Horror Hotel by the Misfits. We traded with the singer of the band one of our CD’s for a 10″ of their band. The first band was called USV, the United States Villains. ![]() We played with some really awesome bands. So anyways, this show was really awesome. I’m better to write this one since Rob and Eric left pretty muchly right after we played. “When they decided to stop doing shows, it was time, and I think everyone knew it.Alright well, I’m finally taking the time to write a review of one of our shows. “You can sustain the business as older music fans start to become disinterested.”Īny tears for Fireside? “Fireside Bowl was fun while it lasted, but something like that is not made to be long term,” Peterson admits. Peterson believes the kids are not just alright but vital to business: “If you are trying to do something long term as a club, all ages is the best way to cultivate a strong, loyal music scene,” he says. Thanks to Peterson and MP-among others-the past year has seen something of an all-ages revolution in Chicago, with venues such as the South Loop’s Reggie’s Rock Club (2105 S State St, 310), Logan Square Auditorium (2539 N Kedzie Blvd, 77) and Union Park’s soon-to-open Bottom Lounge all booking AA shows. “It’s essential to have positive outlets for kids to express themselves that don’t involve church or sports,” he says. Brian Peterson, the music booker for MP Productions, which used to book Fireside, didn’t give up. Some saw the move as a cold-hearted business decision-underage kids don’t buy moneymaking alcohol-while Fireside insisted it merely wanted to become a bowling destination. When bowling alley/live-music venue Fireside Bowl decided to cut out concerts in 2004, it looked like the end of the all-ages show, that magical scene where carpooled teens could constructively let out their sexual and societal frustrations. ![]()
