Being a fan of all that is deviant and trending in a mesh of truth and lies, entertaining the ignorant masses, killing small children to maintain the opulent lifestyle of lazy Americans, and finally pointing and laughing at the poor and unloved.

About me:
Thank you for visiting Metro! This is an area where all THE FANS of Metro can connect! I do try to answer random questions for the fans if I know the answer, but
THIS IS NOT A MAIN CONTACT FOR METRO. I am NOT a Metro staff member, just a fan of the venue and no power or control over booking. I WILL DELETE ANY BOOKING REQUESTS WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF RESPONSE (that is unless I am in a mood and I might just tell you off). If you are looking for a Metro staff member to care about you please visit Metro's Official Site
It's a long story really... In the 20's I was a Swedish Cultural Center, but I became run down and unloved and found myself all alone in the late 70's until one day a man by the name of Joe Shanahan came along and we fell in love. Being influenced by the New York Art and music scene he introduced me to some of Chicago's best. Since then I became a cross-platform of the best local, regional and national emerging artists to Chicago. It has been fun these last few years and I haven’t stopped partying with All Ages, 18 & over and 21 & older Shows. I have met the most interesting people and seen the most disgusting things in my 20 plus run and you can all attest to that. Who needs to name drop when you know them all. Oh it was so cute When Blue Meanies and Local H had their first show in the same month. I tell ya... Memories on the corners of my mind!

Who I'd like to meet: People that love me! People that hate me! People that know me! People with money to give me!
Although there is no real reason for this but it is important, you will notice how important it is because it's in red and bold!

Lucius Lowe brings one of his earliest productions "Sweet music" bang up-to-date on the latest release from Boogs Music. The package brings three different flavours to your record box - The classic, smooth vocal house sound of the "High on the groove mix," Hard-hitting club sounds from the "Thru the roof mix" and the deep and soulful groove of the original 2003 mix. Featuring haunting vocals from newcomer Lois Taylor, the package gives an accurate measure of how Lucius' production skills have been honed between composition of the original 2003 mix and more recent remixes. The "Thru the roof mix" also marks Lucius' first commercial release, included on the compilation CD "Dancefloor '06" from Manchester's D6 Records. Think Ian Carey meets the Groove Junkies and you won't be far off with this excellent offering from Boogs Music... Release date 9th december, advance promo's available NOW at:

This video recorded at The Lucky Number Club of Krazy Karaoke Hostess Suzi Videotaped and edited by myspace member, Edward Dennis Fogell in conjunction with videotapes made by Krazy Karaoke for the Oprah Winfrey karaoke contest for Krazy Karaoke fans, that were unable to make their own videotapes for submission. Of course the versions sent to the Oprah show were unedited version free of the special effects and editing added, as in this version. We invite you to visit Krazy Karaoke on myspace (krazykaraokemusic) and come on down and party with us at the many weekly locations around Chicagoland.
PS: You can see and hear Suzi every Thursday evening 9pm-1am at the Lucky Number Club 1931 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL
