On the weekend of October 8-9, we will be back in Chicago. One of the dates is at Joe's ( I think the 8th), and the other is a private event. So all of you Chicago fans out there, round everybody up and get them to Joe's so we can keep coming back on a regular basis. See you soon.

Was the Chicago show at Joe's on the 8th cancelled? I saw that it was removed from the calendar.

Yep, the club cancelled us, call them and ask them why??
Matter of fact, get about 50 of your closest friends to complain to the club in person.
We want to come to Chicago, but it's hard when the club just cancels you like that.

They have some country band on the bill that night acording to their site. WTF!? I've been telling everyone bout you guys coming back and have been talking about it on the air for weeks. Bastards!

I just saw this topic now. FUCK!!! I'm calling Joe's right now. Those sons of bitches.

Posted by Jeff C. (Member # 50) on September 27, 2004, 08:10 PM:

You know, there's tons of other cooler venues for bands in Chicago. Have you guys played anywhere else here Joe???...that we can try contacting.

Posted by Atomic Bass (Member # 4) on September 28, 2004, 01:20 AM:

Nope, just joe's. Too bad we can't hit the house of Blues, like we do here in So. Cal..

Posted by Jeff C. (Member # 50) on September 28, 2004, 06:49 PM:

That would be awesome. The House of Blues here is such a kick ass venue to see a kick ass band.

Joes' Response...

"Unfortunately, they canceled on us! We were just as disappointed. Thanks for your reply."

The plot thickens...

HAHA yeah sure they did. Not what I was told.

Sounds something similar like that other fagget guy Eddie Solis did to the punks a few months back. Maybe they are buddies!

I called and left a voice mail. This was the reply to my email...

They cancelled the show- we are hoping to have them back in 2005.

Posted by Atomic Bass (Member # 4) on October 02, 2004, 04:19 PM:

No matter what they say, we did not cancel on them. Matter of fact, we are still travelling to Chicago next weekend, and driving to do a guys wedding on Sat. The original plan was to play Joe's Friday and the wedding Saturday. So now we have no gig that Friday, but we still have to go to the Chicagon area on Sat. So why would we cancel?? They screwed up our flights, and our booking for that weekend, so the band loses money because of Joe's.
So obviously, whoever gave that info. about us cancelling is lying, or was lied to as to why we are not there....bottom line.
We NEVER cancel shows on people. We always live up to our committments.

That really sucks.

Somebody hired you guys to play their wedding or you guys are just attending it? That would be awesome to go to a wedding and see you guys their performing.

Posted by Atomic Bass (Member # 4) on October 03, 2004, 10:46 PM:

Hired us....

Posted by Tony (Member # 444) on October 04, 2004, 09:09 AM:

So, the bottom line is that the show at Joe's is cancelled for sure? I hope not, I've been telling people about this show for a month now....I've seen you guys 3 times in Vegas, and have waited for years to see you guys here in Chicago...Please let me know if Friday's show is definitely cancelled...thanks...

Posted by Jeff C. (Member # 50) on October 04, 2004, 07:57 PM:

Dude, it is cancelled. Call that bitch at Joe's and ask her why. They got some lame ass country band instead. Country....TOOO SWEET!!

Posted by Atomic Bass (Member # 4) on October 05, 2004, 02:30 AM:

yep, they bumped us for a country band.....pretty good business.
