Something

This 3 man band knew how to entertain their audience. The looping sound pedal work was seamless and gave such a cool variety to each song. The drummer and bass player (Jeff Ament) were well in synch with each other. I would be really excited to see these guys again and again.

I have to admit that the event was fun and the crowd turn out was good; however, last year's event was a ton more fun in terms of having better music, more people, and better performances. I arrived an hour after the event started and it took almost an hour to check our coats (which is obnoxious). They only had two people working the coat check, so I felt like I missed 1/4 of the event waiting in line to get my coat check and then be charged $5 dollars. #notworthit. The music and performances were good, but it felt like any other weekend in Boystown, nothing special and certainly not worth the $40 (which was a lot more than 2011). I had a better time in Boystown (for FREE) the night before, which is kind of sad since I had high expectations for this party after attending last year's. If I could do it again, would I? Probably not. 2011's DJ was amazing and this year's just didn't live up to those standards. Overall, I ended up having a good time, but not great. I would go again if the party were cheaper or if it included add-ons like free drink or free coat check. But will I spend $40+ for a weak-sauce party? No thanks, this is not Ibiza or Paris...

I loved watching the whole group navigate through a variety of songs done in acappella. They sang contemporary and older songs. Absolutely fantastic! The singers have great relationships with one another; that in itself was quite entertaining. They engaged with their audience well. My whole family was with to enjoy their performance including a 10 and 14 year old. I would attend another one of their shows without hesitation.

All three put on an awesome show. Can t wait to see Dallas Smith again.

I had never heard of any of the bands other than Wintersun. After having driven from South Dakota just to see them, I was pleasantly surprised with the intensity of the other bands. Traffic in Chicago was terrible like always. It was all well worth the showmanship and artistry that happened that night. I have been waiting for years for the chance to see Wintersun perform live in the midwest, and it exceeded the expectations I had by far. Arsis and Starkill got the crowd riled up almost immediately with an explosion of force and heavy rhythms. Fleshgod Apocalypse came out as fancy undead wrecking balls...shattering any inhibitions left in the crowd. Wintersun topped the night off with my favorite songs...AMAZING original (not on the album) solo's and energy from the band, and a tinge of Neil Diamond, and Smashing Pumpkins just to show off how versatile and amazing they are together. Now that I've seen these guys live, I have added to my bucket list that I must see them again, even if I have to fly to Finland heh.

Both Ill Bill & Vinnie brought their A game...their set was bangin!!

The Strypes are poised to be the band everyone is talking about. On Tuesday, March 18th the adorable foursome rocked The Bowery Ballroom with their off-the-charts musical talents. At one point, the lead singer (harmonica), lead guitarist, and bassist switched instruments!! It was incredible. Their music just makes you happy and their passion for performing will serve them will on the road to success. Looking forward to seeing them again soon! All the best Ross, Josh, Pete, and Evan!!

This was my first time seeing Paul Banks solo and I could not believe what an intimate setting it was! It was a very simplistic show and minimal lights but seeing Paul Banks that close was unreal. He played a lot from his new album Banks and a lot from his Julian Plenti album too which really surprised me for some reason. Everyone that was in the audience was simply there to see him play to so it was a great atmosphere too. This man can do no wrong. Not to mention the Neighbourhood opened for them and it's been a love affair ever since for me.

The best concert that I have seen. I really enjoyed myself. Wish I could go back to that day :)

Jeff was crazy cool. We were celebrating my sister's 40th and she had a blast. We always do the summer concerts at Marble House because they attract some great guests. I think this is going to be a tradition.
