It is perhaps the most talked-about show going on near the city this weekend: Projekt Revolution. Admit it, for some reason or another, odds are you have been enticed by this monster festival. So, if you are attending, feel free to share your pics and experiences here when you get back. What was your favorite band that played? Did you have fun? Did you meet any new friends or other people on TRIG?
Be sure to tell your friends about TRIG while you are there. One of the best ways to spread something is always by word of mouth!
As usual, a huge welcome goes out to our new members! Feel free to inroduce yourself in our comments section on the main page!
**UPDATES**
*Expect to see a promo date or two pop up on here very soon. Which reminds me, what days of the week would be good for you guys to get together and do some promo in the various epicenters of the city? Weekends are always good.
*A few new dates have been added to the concert list. Look for the asterisks. (Most importantly the one in late October for all of you HIM fans.)
*A new feature that will be coming up on this page soon will be a featured local band of the month. Chicago is full of local bands and several are right here on TRIG! So if you are in a band, know someone from Chicago who is, or are just a big fan of one, feel free to nominate them in the comment boxes below! Each band chosen will have their music played on the site and have their own special feature somewhere on the page that includes any of their local upcoming show dates.
What a great way to get a band's name out there!
