This week Pepperoni picked the Doors

“It’s back to school season. The weather is getting a tad cooler, tourist season is ending downtown and things are slowing down a little bit. So why not I pick a record that has a track “Summer’s Almost Gone” for us all to cry to. That’s The Doors 1968 album “Waiting For The Sun.” Can you believe I haven’t picked a Doors album yet? This one kicks off with the pulsating hit, “Hello, I Love You.” This was also the band’s only album to hit the top of the billboard charts! Enjoy!”

Goth night last friday was a huge success! Lots of people dressed up, came out, danced, and we all had a good time.

Just a gentle, soothing reminder to keep an eye on our Upcoming Shows for all the shows, release parties and other events we have coming up! Besides 1 million hardcore shows, we have some cool stuff coming up like the Twenty One Pilots and Sabrina Carpenter release parties and our next Illinois Vintage Fair.
