SHINER - Reunion : Bottom Lounge. from GONZO CHICAGO on Vimeo.
Shiner. Uttering the name can bring a sparkle to eyes of even the most jaded old music fan. Often times, it's followed by a conversation about how they were the best band too few seemed to notice in their prime. Their final two reunions shows were held in Chicago. In a flurry of reunions as of late, this one stuck hard. The most hard-to-impress folks I know were raving about it. It really was something to behold. I was lucky enough to be back-stage as they went on and finished night two. I hugged a very sweaty Gerkin, caring not for myself getting drenched in the process, and told him it meant a lot to finally see them play those songs. It really did. Finish this joke for us : I haven't seen that many old dudes freaking out since...
