Low Profile live at Underground Lounge in Chicago
Saturday July 22nd
with Rocky Denis, Theia and the Sidewalk Crax
well this show started out great. we were pretty pumped about it. but a lot of shit happened and it all went downhill from there. we ended up being the only band that played. Albert and Adam stayed for our set and smoked us up but the other 2 guys in Theia are under 21 so they couldn’t play. Aaron from Rocky Denis was sick so they cancelled. who knows what happened to the Sidewalk Crax.
anyways, we made the best of a bad situation and played an extra long set. the place is cool, the sound was good, we played tight, gave out a bunch of free merch, drank, etc.

Satan and i stood out on Clark and mingled with the crowds. here’s Satan with some bum who told us that he was having a ‘mac attack’ and wanted money to go buy a big mac. then this dude asked me for directions and i just made em up. i told him to take a pic with me for collateral for giving him directions. not a very good swap. i had no clue where he was trying to go but pretended i did. also saw this chick in hot pink fishnets!
i also remember that Miller’s Crossing was on at the bar and the bartender left it on for us. none of us had seen it in a while and we were very amused by it. great movie all around. a total classic!!!!! then we watched some old school episodes of Miami Vice and they played the pilot which i have never seen before till that night. kinda lame but i was excited.
what a show!!!!! 1 out of 4 bands played. thanks to everyone who came out and stuck around to see us play. like i said, we made the best of a bad situation. the show must go on.
