Along with this Chicago event, Red Scare has hinted at future 20th anniversary shows across the country. More news on that info as it arrives.
(full disclosure – under my artist/illustrator hat as Asplenia Studios, Red Scare commissioned me to create the posters for this event. Prints are available to purchase here.)
the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
