The ChristMisfits In Chicago

Back in December, some natural-born and naturalized citizens of Little Detroit took their music - Mifists tunes reconfigured for the holiday season, as you might expect - to the people. It was a rousing success.

There was a preliminary plan to get ourselves ejected from this bar following the band, so we decided to start throwing down the gauntlet mid-set with some dives off the piano at stage left.

Good view of the costumes. Helps when one of the band members is a costume designer for films.
Kicking out the jams.

Our effort to get kicked out continues! Now we have added crowd-surfing. Pint glasses are also being smashed all over the place.

I mean, fuck, when Santa get involved, you know that shit was real.

In the end, our efforts to get ourselves permanently banned from the bar came full circle, and instead the band was invited back for a ChristMisfits in July performance. Because we we're so much fun.

Rejoice!


Leo's has come to Chicago. Fear the Coney Dog. Fear the morning after.

For more info, click here for the Leo's Coney Island of Chicago website. We'll see you there after bar close, drunk as hell, just like old times.

Back in Action

We're back.

There were, we know, MONTHS of radio silence out of Little Detroit, but now we've gotten ourselves reorganized, documented past activities, scheduled new events, and deported some dead weight back to the cornfields from whence they came.

Maybe it's the fact that the Chicago outlet of Leo's Coney Island has finally opened in Chicago that got us so energized, or maybe it's the faint whiffs of springtime skin on snowy the air, but we're not going to fade away this time.

Stuff coming down the pipe:
  • Photos from the ChristMisfits show in Chicago from December.
  • Culinary adventures with various citizens of Little Detroit.
  • Downloadable concert audio (if we can figure out how to upload to this MediaFire account already)
  • Little Detroit volunteer efforts.
Stay tuned.
