BigTuna
04.28.10 | A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Ashes Grammar
Some awesome dreampop w/ da female vocalz |
Inveigh
04.28.10 | hah, proggy stuff generally isn't my thing, so I've never checked them out. I thought I was the only Chicagoan on this site (besides MJ of course)... |
AnotherBrick
04.28.10 | well actually i'm from ankeny, iowa (10 miles north of Des Moines) so i've got like a 6 hour car drive tomorrow haha. my buddies are going to the cubs game tomorrow so were leaving at 5 in the morning then just partying it up tomorrow night |
Inveigh
04.28.10 | hah, nice. Cubs games are good times, although they're over-run with DePaul frat boys so... ya win some ya lose some. |
BigTuna
04.28.10 | I'm going to Frightened Rabbit May 8 in Chicago. What's the Metro like Inveigh? |
AnotherBrick
04.28.10 | haha ya i hate sports so i'm just gonna hopefully get f-ed up and wander the town |
Inveigh
04.28.10 | Metro pretty much is awesome, unless you get caught behind one of the giant support beams in the back near the bar (bc then you can't see shit). If you're 21, SmartBar is beneath it and it's a good way to catch some band members (depending on if they're a small band or not).
I saw ABR, Underoath and Emery there in December, it ruled, but obv those guys don't drink so no chance at meeting them downstairs (I think they spent some time in the merch booth though). But when I saw Atmosphere and Mac Lethal there a couple years ago I hung out with Mac and Ant (producer/beat-maker for Atmosphere) at SmartBar. Ant was so drunk he kissed me on the cheek, which was kinda weird.
I'd say Metro is only behind Aragon Ballroom (shitty neighborhood though) and Subterranean (my neighborhood, so automatically awesome, saw Brother Ali there, among countless locals) as far as Chicago venues go. |
AnotherBrick
04.28.10 | the house of blues is pretty sweet. saw riders on the storm (The Doors minus Morrison and Densmore)
Ant was so drunk he kissed me on the cheek, which was kinda weird. hahahhahahahhaah |
BigTuna
04.28.10 | yeah, I went to the House of Blues as well. Are you allowed to go downstairs to the SmartBar if you're not 21? |
Inveigh
04.28.10 | nope, it's a bar so it's 21+, most bands will spend some time in the merch booth though, the problem is that it's so small there's usually a long ass line to get in there.
House of Blues is definitely sweet, I just hate going downtown. And the security there can be dickheads sometimes. The sound is great though. I like going to places like Metro and Subterranean because there's so much else to do around there before/after the show. HoB is just by a bunch of clubs and restaurants. Aragon's definitely got the coolest atmosphere, but if you walk one direction out of there you're in a pretty bad area, the other way is just like a shopping district. |
BigTuna
04.28.10 | where is Metro? and is the venue small or the merch booth? |
Inveigh
04.28.10 | venue's pretty small, a little smaller than House of Blues. Merch booth is tiny, it's like the size of a bedroom, maybe only slightly bigger.
Metro's at like Clark and Racine, basically just north of Wrigleyville. |
BigTuna
04.28.10 | parking? |
Inveigh
04.28.10 | yea there's couple guys that run small lots around the area that let you pay to park (and by small lots, I mean like 8 cars can fit into them and it's just gravel or some shit), but mostly it's just on the street. You're not downtown, so it's a neighborhood that's largely residential or just bars/restaurants. There's no official Metro parking lot though, so be prepared to spend some time looking for a spot. |
BigTuna
04.28.10 | alright dude thanks a ton |
Inveigh
04.28.10 | no prob Large Tuna |
