Doors 8.30pm
If you've ever seen a guy on his bike fly fifteen feet into the air after getting smacked by an opening car door, or found urine in your refrigerator's vegetable crisper or discovered all of your pocket t-shirts are missing their pockets... chances are you've encountered a member of Chicago-based rock band Haymarket Riot.
Haymarket Riot members Kevin J. Frank (vocals, guitar), Fred Popolo (bass, vocals), Chris Daly (guitar) and Shane Hochstetler (drums), are planning to take their antics, musical and otherwise, to Europe, Japan and North America in 2004 to support their upcoming recording Mog (Thick Records).
In November 2003, Haymarket Riot had the opportunity to record with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, Ill. With Albini engineering and John Congleton producing, Mog may be the band's best effort since its 1999 inception. The album was recorded in five days and is probably the closest the band has ever come to doing a live recording in a studio. "Steve was able to extract the no-frills, balls-out, rock sound we were looking for, while John pushed us to give our best musical performances...without the use of violence," stated Kevin J. Frank.
After the sucess of the five minute changover at hoover we're this week going for a 3 minute changeover with 20 sets, no solos, no guest list. Hopefully it'll all be over by 9.59....
