At LDB earlier this year, a lot of people noticed that there was a Louder Than Life table out in the lobby. Of course, this prompted a bit of speculation. Well, wonder no longer as we now have a 4-show hybrid event. Set during Louder Than Life, Louder Than LDB will kick off much, much smaller hardcore shows around town during LTL featuring some bands playing LTL and more. Considering how much of the LTL audience is older and from out of town, this is a great way to get some of these bands in front of the more active younger audiences as all shows are way cheaper and all ages.
Presale tickets can be signed up for at https://www.louderthanldb.com/ and available with code starting at Noon on Thursday, August 15th. Regular tickets will be on sale soon afterwards. These shows are likely going to sell out, so get on it quick if you are interested.

Slint and Touch and Go records are gearing up to celebrate the 35th… yes, 35th anniversary of Tweez. Damn, you’re old right? There will be two LPs, one with the original recording and mix, and a special second LP highlighting a much-rumored alternate mix. Both versions have been mastered by Bob Weston at the legendary Chicago Mastering Studio. Pre-orders are up now and the release will be limited to a limited run of 3138.

It’s time again for us old shits to come out in droves, and hopefully some young folks too! It’s been at least a few years (maybe 2018? around the release of Above Fear) since BTGOG last played but they’re back in the saddle and ready to throw down at Mag Bar. Deady will be ready to get every punk shaking and Aon Brasi warming you up into the night. Grab tickets now at the link below:
