![]() Maybe you’ve seen the Fireside Bowl featured in pop culture. Our residents know all about the music and fun Yippee! And they once again started hosting musical performances in 2010. But that was settled in 2003, and Fireside decided to get back to its roots of bowling. That’s when the cloud of eminent domain was hung over Fireside with the proposed expansion of Haas Park. Music performances were the norm at Fireside from the 1970s up until 1999. Fireside has also been a popular music venue, especially back when bowling’s popularity started to decline. The magic of mechanics! Then, in the summer of 2004, further renovations were made to the Fireside to update features such as automatic scoring, even more new lanes, new equipment, and significant upgrades to the building and its amenities, all while staying open to the public.īut it hasn’t always been about bowling at the Fireside. In the mid-50s, it was expanded and AMF automatic pinspotters were installed and four more lanes were installed. *shivers* In 1941, it was converted into a twelve-lane pin-boy bowling alley that thrived throughout the 1940s and 50s. Go figure!Īnd guess what? Back in the old days, the Fireside Bowl was actually an ice factory. Imagine! For several decades, residents in Logan Square have been going to The Fireside Bowl – and not just for bowling, but for hot music, too. Used to be, people would go bowling for an inexpensive afternoon or evening’s entertainment. Then I smoked a nice bong and went to bed.Hey! You! Look what’s happening near Lyndale Place. I went home and puked from all the heat and loud noise. Pretty damn cool that I went home with 3 new CD’s from some really cool bands. The drummer said that they couldn’t give any away and that they had to make all the money for them. Hopefully I can get the chance to play with them again. They are extremely noisy and totally use noisy changes with lots of screaming over all the noise. My old band Socially Unacceptable played with them 4 times and knew them very well so he remembered me from that. The bass player used to be in Suburban Refugee (RIP). They are a 5 piece with 2 frontmen who both get really crazy on stage and scream great. They are a 4 piece with a girl lead singer. They fucked it up but said that they just learned it yesterday. They played every song but 1 and ended with a Fugazi cover of Merchandise. Typical Chicago style punk rock Fighters, Hitmen style. This was their 15th time playing the Fireside. I personally think we played the best at this show but I know I’ll say that after the next one and the one after that………………….blah blah blah………………… Next was FID. We didn’t really bring anyone to see us but the audience was very amused and gave us mad props. It lets u move around freely and mine rarely fucks up. Anyone who plays guitar should play wireless. ![]() I ran around far from the stage with my bass on. See the hate letter page on our website to read his letter to Eric. Eric wanted to play it cause every band had a Misfits sticker on something. We opened with Horror Hotel by the Misfits. We traded with the singer of the band one of our CD’s for a 10″ of their band. The first band was called USV, the United States Villains. We played with some really awesome bands. So anyways, this show was really awesome. I’m better to write this one since Rob and Eric left pretty muchly right after we played. Alright well, I’m finally taking the time to write a review of one of our shows.
