Rocking Some Jams At The Ace Bar This Friday in Chicago

So the weather is getting nice and I imagine if you're like me your starting to get that..."geez what's another reason I can go out and drink" feeling.

Well here's one...It's kind of a last minute thing...but we were feeling that summer impulsive decision thing...and  thought it'd be cool do a show where admission was on par with a can of Blatz?

Viaduct Theatre (Chicago, IL) 4/22/2011

Lights, camera, action! That’s what it felt like at the Viaduct Theatre. Minus the cameras…this whole get up felt like we were on American Bandstand.

Was seriously so cool to do something different. Loved this backdrop and three tiered stage.

Huge thanks to everyone who watched my butt video, listened to what my ass had to say and showed up early to pick up some free VR shwag. We hope you are enjoying it, or at least put it in someone else’s Easter basket or Passover dinner.

If you were there early you likely caught an AMAZING set by Young Jesus. It was such a treat to share the stage with them and the dudes in Par Avion who also rocked socks.

What a warm welcome back home. We couldn’t be happier.

Until next time...stay steamy my weenies.

Cubby Bear (Chicago, IL) - 8/20/2010

This past Friday's show at Cubby Bear with Greek Fire and Model Stranger was a pant wetting good time. A last minute show with such a great turnout makes me really appreciate the fact that Verona Red is blessed with the best fans in Chicago, maybe even the Midwest...no matter what you're definetly not third.

Here's some pics from the night.  HUGE PROPS to Michael Cooks from Afrothoughts.com for surprising us with these great images.  Mike Healy, glad your camera didn't break, thank you for the bonus images as well.

What a great night! This is the exact moment that I decided to applaud you all for being so damn awesome in anticipation for the blog I was going to write three days later.

  

Wish we could do this every night Chicago! But now it's back to writing :) Till next time...

Beat Kitchen (Chicago, IL) - 6/26/2010

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who came out this past Saturday to share in the good times.

Performing "No Way Home" in a whole new way after working on the recording for 2 months was a blast.  We posted a video of the performance in case you weren't there OR in case you were there but were just too drunk to remember...(you know who you are).



It was also a pleasure to play with our new friend Adam Knoernschild in Chicago for the first time, and to share the stage with our old friend Tony Focht one last time.

Here's some more pics from the night.  Thank you to several of our fans for posting these to Facebook and tagging us so I could easily find and steal them :)

Finally, I want to take my hat (and pants) off to the bands that opened up the night.  Please do check out My My My (http://www.myspace.com/iluvmymymy), The Ivorys (http://www.myspace.com/theivorys) and Camera (http://www.myspace.com/camerachicago)

They all put on a great show and were a treat to watch.

To all you Chicagoans, Verona Red wishes you a hot and sweaty summer.  Here's hoping its full of blackouts and sun burns!

Can't wait to bring you some NEW MUSIC this fall!

Subterranean (Chicago, IL) - 1/9/2010

It was our first show 2010 Chicago show, and we celebrated in style. It was a holiday affair.

Gifts were wrapped

Garland was strung

And nipples were rubbed

I had such a great time at this show, words really can’t describe it. A big thank you to The Locals and The Glide for joining us on this bill. And a big thank you to everyone who made it out.  There were a lot of great memories from that night.

Loving The Locals

Getting my cock blown clean off by The Glide

Giving out condoms/saving America

Rock And Roll

Busting out of pants (aka eating too much sweet and sour chicken before the show and breaking my belt somewhere near the end of the set.)

And following the adventures of traveling jock strap

By the end of the night everyone had hung their undies on a light fixture or two and everything was right in the world.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to eveyrone who showed us support at this show.  Can't wait to party with you all again real soon!

The Rockbox (Chicago, IL) 12/5/2009

Rock and roll was the name of the game at the Rockbox on the 5th of December. We had a fucking amazing time! Not sure if there was something in the air that night…or maybe it was the absence of toys in the "Toys for Tots" box in the back that just got us all jazzed up. Anyway, it turned out to be one hot mess of semen and alfredo sauce.

It was a spiritual journey and we thank all of you who came out to experience it with us. After the show I noticed everyone had gotten through it in their own way.

Some were angry

Others...just plain confused

Aggressive

Cockeyed?

Aroused?

Religious

But for most of us it was a night of personal reflection

No matter how you felt that night, just know WE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!

And most importantly please remember that we are constantly reading up on new ways to keep you satisfied ;)

Can’t wait to see all you Chicago kids again at Subterranean on Jan. 9!
