is anyone in chicago and likes NOFX - 01/03/2002 18:59

I know I'm probably the only one on this bbs that likes NOFX but I thought I would ask anyway

I have a ticket for the nofx show at the house of blues in Chicago on march 23, 2002 I was going to go to this show but the have added a date in Minneapolis (which is where I live) so I am not going to use this ticket.

So basically if anyone wants this I will send it to you for free as long as you are actually going to go to the show and not just resell it for some outrageous price (like the ones I just saw on ebay for 150 a pair and the ass says they have 100.00 face value when in reality they are 14.00)

Similar to NOFX? Hrm... that's sorta difficult since they are all over the spectrum musically sometimes. I CAN however recommend a ton of kick ass punk/pop punk stuff. Private message me if you want a short list. =]

Haha. Cool. mu330 is a kick live. So many people on the stage it's insanity. Any reason you guys opened for all punk/ska bands? Did you ever put out anything? I'd dig hearing it if so. =]

Well back a couple years ago the only true punk venue we had was the 513 club and we played there all the damn time. We had a nice following so we drew a nice crowd so the owner liked us and gave up all the good shows. Yeah I recorded one album with them (the bunny chronicles), but i quit right before I went to college since I wouldnt have time for it. www.treephort.com its definately an original style of music

NOFX fan here also. But I am from the Bay Area so I stay true to my roots, Green Day, AFI, Rancid, etc, all the cool east bay bands.

Limp is great. I caught one of their shows in SF in december or january and they were a lot of fun live. They just realeased a new album a week or two ago that I havn't picked up yet. Rumor has it that it isn't as good as guitarded.

Me First and the Gimme Gimme's are fun. All they do is punk covers. They've been getting more and more popular lately...
