Double Door in Chicago, IL
12/6/2008
It has been a long time coming for my favorite band to come back to Chicago. Come to think of it, the last time they were in Chicago was June 2007!
I've kept in contact with Alex Dezen over the past 18months and this lil surprise show popped up as Alex and Angela, the newest member of the Damnwells (Alex's wife) were visiting Chicago.
I was particularly thrilled to see Ted, the bassist with the band (founding member) and Jay Barclay, who previously toured with them.
I was nestled close at the front of the stage and knew the words to almost every song. To my credit, I did know most of the words to "55 pictures" which has not been released. The magical moment of the night was when Alex stepped away from the mic and the packed crowd sang "Kung Fu Grip Kiss."
I've seen these guys countless times live and I'm still never tired of seeing them. The Damnwells give it 100% everytime they hit the stage.
