When opportunities come up you have to take advantage of them.  So when I got the call saying we could have Lines of Loyalty and Velvet Chains in town to do an acoustic performance for listeners...for free...I jumped at it!

The bands drove in and went to the Daq Faq in downtown Davenport where they hung out with listeners, chatted about all sorts of stuff with us, and then played some awesome songs in a one-of-a-kind setting.  It was the first time we had done anything like this but it's definitely something we want to do more of in the future.

So the next time you hear about us doing...well really anything...but especially something unique like this, even on a Monday night, swing on out and check it out.  These are the type of experiences you'll remember and look back at saying "I remember seeing that band at____ before they were big.".  Yeah, you can be that guy.

Velvet Chains started the night and for many of us we discovered them for the first time.  Like even just where they are from.  And while they say they hail from Las Vegas, they are really "from" all over the world!

You can check out their interview and performance here.

Some of you were already familiar with Lines of Loyalty from when they played the Rust Belt with Pop Evil.  Or when they played in Dubuque with Static-X and Sevendust.  Or maybe, it was your first time to hear them, meet them, and see what great musicians they are.

Nubz and Redo made the drive to the Quad Cities and performed a lot more than I thought they were going to!  I was thinking like 3-4 songs.  They ended up doing 7 because you started chatting for one more song.
