Beware all – this weekend marks the returns of the savages from Detroit for another wild night of rock n’ roll, dancing, and general raucousness!

They packed the place back in December during one of the worst snowstorms of the year to hit Chicago.

Fast gaining a reputation for their own brand of savage rock n’ roll and vinyl prowess behind the turntables, Matt and Loney bring the party every time!

Don’t miss it, or you will be very disappointed!

The details:
Saturday night, March 8
Horseshoe – 4115 North Lincoln
All that for the unbeatable price of $6.

See ya there !! XOXO Susan

Eddie Clendening show - this weekend

Don't forget everyone – In a rare Midwest pair of appearances, Eddie Clendening is set to take the stage this weekend in Detroit and Chicago. This is one that you shouldn't miss. We so rarely get out of town acts that come through Chicago now, it will be a rare chance to see him close to home and not have to travel to a weekender. On top of everything else, the Chicago show is at Ventrella's caffe where you are encouraged to bring your own booze. How can you miss? It's a less than $20 evening no matter what way you look at it :-)

Bring your friends… its always more fun the more crazy ass rock n' rollers you pack into a place…

Ventrella will be keeping the panini grill and espresso machine running (hey – for the caffe, that's the entire kitchen !!) until about 9 pm. So if you want something to soak up the liquor while you intoxicate yourselves, drop in a little before the show and sample some of the best Italian gelato, coffee and paninis you'll get anywhere in Chicago!

Now if you haven't heard Eddie perform, you should check out the songs on his profile: http://www. myspace. com/eddieclendening
Finally – here's the details on the Chicago and the Detroit shows.

February 22, 2008 - at the Berkley Front in Berkley, MI - w/the Rockabilly Strangers, DJ Savage Matt + More - Doors @ 9pm - $7

February 23, 2008 - at Ventrellas in Chicago, IL - w/Savage Record hop and special Musical Guests - B.Y.O. B.!!! - Show @ 9 pm - $8
