The Dutchmen @ The Empty Bottle

The Dutchmen play another Empty Bottle show in support of their debut full-length, "Bloodthirsty," on Chicago's Threat Records. The Dutchmen combine the arena-sized riffs of AC/DC and Free with the attitude of The Stooges and The Dead Boys to create an entirely unique and instantly recognizable sound. Tonight they will be joined by the fabulous Plastik Explosives (ex-Mashers) and from downstate Bloomington-Normal,The Locked Sound. The Empty Bottle is located at 1035 N. Western Ave. in Chicago. Doors open at 9:30 p.m. Cover is $7. This show is 21 & over.
