The Dutchmen play another Empty Bottle show in support of their debut full-length, "Bloodthirsty," on Chicago's Threat Records.

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.
