Burning Fight Showcase Info

Last month, I posted about Trial having confirmed to perform a show next year in Chicago in commemoration of the release of Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution in Ethics, Politics, Spirit and Sound, an aptly titled book that discusses, in-depth, the movement that was 90's Hardcore Punk. The people bringing you Burning Fight will be holding a showcase with some of the best that the 90's had to offer along with some of today's best who have taken great influence from the era.

They have issued the following statement:

This is just a quick update on the show in Chicago. We will be updating all information once anything new is presented.

There will be a website coming in the next week with information on lodging, transportation, food and other general questions.
Frequently asked questions that I do not want to be asked:

No one is getting rich off this show so keep the comments of “insert band here” is only doing this for money to yourself. This is about a book my friend has written and other friends have agreed to play. This is a one-time deal so enjoy the moment because it will not happen again.

All money after expenses will be directed toward the two benefactors we have chosen.

No, Universal Order of Armageddon is not playing.

I do not have the exact day set for each band and what time they are playing. A website will have all that information the week of the show.

There will be no barrier at the club, but that does not mean you can be an idiot and wreck the place. Respect this club’s willingness to do the show whose history of bands on their stage have ranged from Bob Dylan to Slayer to Oasis to Metallica. The list is endless for punk and hardcore bands as well.

Please do not buy a ticket if you do not plan on attending the show. We have decided to release the info well in advance of the show so people can prepare to attend. I have included a 4 ticket limit per house hold as well to insure no one is wasting our time in buying 9 tickets and only two of their friends actually attend.

Please do not PM asking if your band could play or why I did not dig up some losers that put a 7 inch out in a paper bag back in 94.


Thank you
Jim and Brian

See you in May, Chicago.
