Huge news on March 1st!

Portland's MENOMENA are headlining the first of many free monthly shows ran by the Empty Bottle entitled "Music. Friendly. Dancing."

As a "thank you" to customers, the Empty Bottle crew are holding these free shows on a free, first-come, first-serve basis.

The first event kicks off on Monday, March 7th at 6p.m. , and admission if not guaranteed, so get there EARLY!!!

You can purchase "tickets", or RSVP if you will, HERE!!!

Chicago has always been a GREAT town for free, live music, such as the Do-Division street festival, Wicker Park fest, Empty Bottle's own "free mondays" and curated outside music festivals sets (like Menomena) , Pritzker shows...but this is great news for summer, music lovers, and fun-seekers in general!

P.S. there's a Betta Promotions hosted show at Schubas tonight including The Island of Misfit Toys, and Project Film. You should go. It's only $8

Edit : The night was great! Quick, short show, ending in time for 9-5'ers like myself to sleep early.

Super good, even with a main member gone...

Video will be up in the next day or two! HMD
