I was turned onto these guys when I saw them open up for Green Day on their Kerplunk tour in a dive bar in the Chicago suburbs. Then I saw the Meanies at the Vans Warped tour at Tinely Park IL and the crowd was ripping the chairs out of the ground, so the venue cut the speakers... To bad for them and the audience. It was brilliant!And I'll never forget the X-Mas shows at the Metro in Chicago!
