It was an old, male crowd for the most part, although not as old at the Cobra Lounge show 2 weeks ago.</p> <p>I thought the show was way oversold and too crowded, as well as terribly mixed. Sure the crowd is part of the fun, but that was borderline dangerous.</p> <p>We were up front for Four Star Alarm (and yes, that was Jeff Dean from The Bomb and about 4 other bands playing) the Bomb, and The Briefs, but moved toward the back for NR as didn't want to get trampled. And you could barely hear anything from where we were standing.</p> <p>I agree that the crowd was kind of lame when The Briefs were playing. This chick standing next to us gave my friend a too-cool-for-school glare when we started jumping around. I thought one of the joys of being 40 was not feeling the need to pose anymore.

Older "punk" are some of the most reactionary people you will ever meet. Stuck in their ways, seemingly lacking the willpower to discover any new bands. That's why the reunion shows do so well: most of the mid-30s set stopped trying 20 years ago, preferring to retreat into the comfort of the bands they knew in 1989. "There's no good bands today". Piss right off. There's plenty of great bands playing today. You've just got to get off your fat arse and do a little digging. What made me so angry? The Briefs played an amazing, tight , fun as hell set, and were met with a wall of indifference from most of the aging ballsniffers in the crowd. Then the fucking misfits came on the PA and the crowd sang along as one. Made me fucking mental. </p> <p>Sorry for the swearing Randy, but it really pissed me off. Punk rock should breed the most open-minded of music listeners, but most are sheep who are closeted into a corner with their Misfits and Minor Threat records. Not that there's anything wrong with those records, but there's some amazing music being put out today. get out there and find it.</p> <p>End of rant.</p> Randy gave a fine writeup, but was too generous on one point.

Packed. Lot's of crusty old Chicago punks, some younger kids, but mostly an older crowd. A lot of fans from earlier days.</p> I think my wife was one of 10 women at the club. Packed.

As always I'm really curious who was there. Lots of kids? Were you the lone old man? Were there people we knew from the '80's? Hip/jaded old timers still inthere leather jackets? Any girls we used to know?</p> That looks rad. As always I’m really curious who was there. Lots of kids? Were you the lone old man? Were there people we knew from the ’80’s?
