This weekend past we had a fantastic blast in the Land O' Lincoln.
Chicago was first where we had the pleasure of tearing it up at Red Line Tap in Rogers Park. The venue was exemplary of Chicago's charm and needless to say we blew the roof off the place. We enjoyed some fine folks and tasty eats at the Heartland Cafe which operates next door in tandem with Red Line Tap. I also tried Malort for the first time, it was... interesting (awful). I find it odd that after so many trips to Chicago this is the first I had heard of this strange liquor, though perhaps this can be attributed to its rather distinct taste. Of course I felt obliged to indulge in a local staple and it is fair to say I may not again for a long time. Good times as always in the Windy City.
Peoria was next on the list of locations to be rocked. It was a stellar evening at the Limelight Eventplex where the crowd was warm and hungry for a dose of killer tunes. Peoria is fast becoming a favorite town for us to visit. The people are outstanding in their kindness and receptive attitude. It is places like this that give us extra encouragement and the feeling that our mission of rocking faces off is a very much worthwhile endeavor. We love you Peoria, long live rock 'n roll!
The third installment for the weekend was a return to Macomb, IL and the premier venue of the Midwest: The Outskirts. Can't say enough about this absolutely outstanding room. It boasts one of the most beautiful stages I've ever played on; incredible sound and light systems, the food is spectacular, and total professional atmosphere. We truly get the royal treatment when we play here and it is a pure pleasure. If you live in the area, do yourself a favor and get here for a show asap!
That'll do for the moment. Next weekend it's another bender of shows on an East Coast tip.
Til next time,
Ty
