AJJ have spent close to two decades turning acoustic folk-punk into something louder and stranger, and they draw a room that sings every word back. Greet Death open with the heavier end of the bill, shoegaze-weight guitars against AJJ's sharper writing. Bottom Lounge's main room is a flat West Loop box that keeps the crowd close to the stage, and the show is all ages on a Sunday night.
What to expect
A standing general-admission room off Lake Street under the Green and Pink Line tracks, with a full bar and a street-level entrance. Doors at 6 PM, Greet Death first, AJJ headlining. Expect a loud, word-for-word crowd.
