It was my first night out since mid December when Melita and I saw Alicia Witt in Evanston. I missed 2 shows I had anticipated in early January due to the flu. The show last Friday Feb 6th I had been pushing online and on the podcast for 2 months and I was greatly looking forward to it. I would be surprised how easy the commute would be even though it was near the airport.
I got to my bus stop and within 2 minutes my bus arrived at 5:56 PM and I got to the Irving Park Blue Line train station and only waited 1 minute for my train to arrive at 6:29 PM and then waited outside at the Cumberland Station for about 15 minutes when the bus arrived at 7:03 PM where it sat for about 10 minutes and 7 stops later I was at the venue. The entire thing was door to door and only cost $2.25.
Once inside I was greeted by the publicist Evan and saw Dave McAnally the front man for the headlining band where he set up my bar tab. I ordered a dirty martini and was quick to lean they really know how to make good cocktails at this place.
Still riding the high from Friday night at GOAT Village.
Huge thanks to everyone who came out and supported — we felt that energy on stage.
Chicago nights hit different.
This music is meant to be played live.
With real people in the room.
We appreciate everyone who comes out and supports it.
More dates. More states. Coming soon

What a show last night Sound Fury Magazine Presents: Friday Feb 6 at Goat Village – Norridge, IL Sound Fury Magazine
Awesome turnout, the amount of people who came up to me and thanked me, those who I took photos with it was a blast!! The bands took in more than the guarantees with a nice walk up crowd. Absolutely loved the vibe at Goat Village, we had punks, rockers and metal heads thrashing out to the different types of music. Would You Kindly?Strident Escape & Derision Cult were masterful and by the response from the crowd they loved it! Met some new friends and saw some old friends I haven’t seen in a while. AND I made it in one piece to Cincinnati!! Good night Goat Village, good night Norridge… until Next time! Stay tuned! – publicist Evan J. Thomas
