Hey, Chicago area people, can you help me out? I want to see [b]Bottom[/b] April 8th, but I don't know anything about the Fireside Bowl. Where's it at, is it cool, am I gonna get shot? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

As for Bottom, these girls rock! It's a 3 piece band (my favorite kind) out of NY and they do some serious jammin. Take a look [url=http://www.bottommusic.com]http://www.bottommusic.com[/url] . You may or may not like their music, but you gotta love a chic in a Black Sabbath Tee!

Hey, I think that I saw them in a gig with Penance this summer in Pittsburgh. Any possibility that could be the case??

Thanks Swidman! I was looking for more of a first hand account of the place, but I appreciate the info anyway. I thought there were some Chicago folk here...

Dark Reign - No idea about Pittsburg. I don't know a whole lot about Bottom. I just have 3 mp3s of them and like the sound. Plus, you just can't beat the club scene. I'd rather see a minor league band in a club than a big shot band in an arena anyday. I like my rock n roll in my face! Especially in Bottoms case... [img]http://axl.hardradio.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Here is some info on the Fireside Bowl.

Fireside Bowl
2646 W. Fullerton Ave.
773-486-2700

Although bowling is occasionally allowed here ($2 per game/$1 for shoes), the main function of the Fireside Bowl is to serve more as an all-ages venue for legitimate hardcore punk bands--perhaps the only such venue in the city. Here, the cutting edge can be seen and heard in a relatively comfortable setting. The Fireside can handle as many as 800 people, though few shows play to more than 300. There is a lounge-type bar set off to one side, with worn vinyl seating, a pool table, a couple of video games and a basketball game (for 50 cents, shooters can see how many jump shots they can make). There is a fully stocked bar, and both domestic and imported beers are available. This is a funky, lively place.
For more on local music, including news, reviews and show information, go to Reverb.

Hours: 7 p.m.-midnight Wednesday through Sunday; closed Monday and Tuesday

INSIDE: Fireside Bowl

Extras:
Admissions $5-$6
Seating Can accommodate up to 800, though usually not more than 300; 40 in the lounge
Wheelchair Access Entrance way is narrow; employees will gladly assist
Parking Street parking possible
Transportation Accessible by Chicago Transit Authority buses (route 74 Fullerton); Blue Line elevated trains (California stop)
Payment Method Cash only
Spirits Full bar; domestic and imported beer
Family Oriented Yes
Smoking Cigars are also permitted
Food No
Music Styles Rock
Bar Styles Lounge, All Ages/No Alcohol
Live Music Yes
Games Bowling, Billiards/Pool
Recreation Activity

Hey Zombie - There are 3 mp3s under the "volumes" link I believe. It's the sweet, fuzzy kyuss-ey sounding stuff. My favorite kind. Rock on!

Uh, yeah, what Swidman said. I never hear anything around here about metal bands. There aren't any metal stations that I can get, except for one in Milwaukee, and even then, I get alot of static. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
Bullgod trips after Night-Breed whips him the ball and pulls a groin muscle. Opposing team gets an RBI.
