Electric Six to record Minneapolis/Chicago shows for double live album

[Epidemic Reign]

Figured I'd post this since some of you guys are in the Chicago area... I'd kill to be at one of these shows, but I'm starting a new job in a couple weeks and can't really plan on taking any time to travel.

One disc will contain the entirety of the band's debut album, "Fire," performed live and the second disc will include live versions of our favorite tracks from all the other albums.

We'll be recording for the live record at two shows, May 11th at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota and May 12th at the Double Door in Chicago, Illinois. These are two of our favorite venues in the world and we couldn't be happier than both of them are working with us to make this happen. The band will be playing two sets on each night. The first set will be non-"Fire" material. There will be a 30 minute intermission, and then the band will return to perform "Fire" in its entirety. Prior to E6's sets, we'll be joined by our good friend Andy D.

Again, we're very excited to be doing this and for all our fans in Minneapolis and Chicago (or those with an ability and a desire to get there), you'll have a chance to be immortalized on tape along with us. Our shows in these two cities have always been outstanding and we're expecting nothing less this time around. Please join us.

I'll be about 40 minutes from First Avenue when I move in 3 days. I might just go to this.

Hope you do man! They're fucking great live, and I can only imagine how awesome a double set would be.

Chicago is 21+ but I won't even think about it.

So my sister and I talked about this, and if I can get a couple days off work then we're fucking flying to Minneapolis

This might not take long to sell out so I'd get a ticket if I were you (they're only $10) unless you can get on the guest list through the radio gig or something. I don't start my job till Monday so it may take a while to find out if I'll be able to go.
