Woven at the Dark Room in Chicago

We watched this band from row one of one, a surprise to us since they're, like, talent on the edge of godliness. What kind of brain must it take to control that many effects pedals, that complex of a drum rig?

We drove from Pittsburgh to see this show and visit Chad's family. It was f*ing awesome and worth it.

And, despite the general lack of advertising I saw for and within this venue, it was a pretty cool spot. Kickin sub-bass. Black and white photos everywhere, with red lights exclusively (hence: Dark Room)

The opening bands weren't bad, but they weren't particularly memorable. Not to mention that neither they nor their fans stuck around to see the band that travels from San Francisco. Boo on Chicago bands! Yuk!
