Tutu and the Pirates/Hotlips Messiah 12/21/12 at Township
The world did not end on Friday night despite what some gullible folks would have led you to believe leading up until that day.

Tutu and the Pirates/Hotlips Messiah kickstarter for a split 7″
Tutu and the Pirates Chicago’s first punk band and one of Chicago’s current best punk bands (one that is criminally underrated) have joined forces with plans to release a split 7″.

Paint by numbers with Destroy Everything 5/5/12
There’s a lot of parties and celebrations that happen on Cinco De Mayo, but the best one was happening in the industrial park section of Downers Grove where local punk legends, Destroy Everything, threw a big bash to celebrate the construction of their tour vehicle.
