Reggies Rock Club

Last night the halls of Reggie’s shook as Castle Rat strode forth, crowned in shadow and steel. The Rat Queen herself, iron-voiced and sword-handed, greeted her subjects with tidings both joyous and dire: the Bestiary, tome of terrible might, lay under threat from the accursed Rat Reapress—death incarnate with a skull of vermin and a scythe to match. With guitars screaming like battle horns, bass thundering like the march of giants, and drums striking like hammers of the gods, Castle Rat wove spells of strength and fury—Wolf I, Dagger Dragger, Cry For Me, Wizard—binding their people to the defense of The Realm. Time and again the Reapress slithered from the void, only to be driven back by the Queen’s blade and the crowd’s might. But evil is stubborn. With sorcery black as midnight, the Reapress froze the Queen in her tracks and drank her life away before our eyes. All seemed lost, until the Plague Doctor, robed in mystery, raised the host in thunderous chant, pouring forth a forbidden elixir of revival. The Rat Queen rose anew, her sword aflame with vengeance, and cast the Reapress screaming into the abyss. In the aftermath, Castle Rat led their victorious subjects in revelry unmatched in the chronicles of men—an orgy of triumph and sound, where darkness lay broken and the Realm endured.

I'm annoyed. Jack has many fans, I am among them but, to play to such small venues when he could easily fill stadiums is disheartening when you aren't notified and after the show is sold out are you then texted and or emailed. The gatekeepers of the ransom tickets are deplorable. I hope Jack comes by way of Chicago again and plays at the salt shed or northerly island. Jack! Are you listening?

Concert was fun. Staff was mostly nice. Was kicked out before Ted played because my friend grabbed my drink out of my hand so I didn’t spill it. Was rudely told to leave because she is 20. Blonde girl said she didn’t care what we had to say ripped my wrist band off and didn’t give us any chance to talk or for me to get my card from the bar. My other friend had to go get it which also doesn’t sit right with me that they gave my card to someone other than me.

Reggie’s is a great venue. We brought our kids (8 and 12) to the show. There is a seating/standing area built into one of the side walls of the venue that allowed them to stand, dance, and watch the bands without getting in anybody’s way or having to navigate a crowd of much taller people. Save Ferris is just as good as they were when I saw them in the 90’s. This was easily my favorite show of the year. The opening bands were great also. Bumsy and the Moochers put on a great show with high energy and really good songs. We will all be looking forward to another opportunity to see them. Burn Rebuild and Blood People, while not the types of bands I usually listen to, were also fantastic and I would recommend seeing them both if you have the chance.

The last show before the Escuela shenanigans. They kicked my boi Tom out so I’m glad I got to see him w the band one more time bc he’s the Main reason I rock w em. Brat was killer, take offense did their thjng, and all tha kids love bonginator. Glad I got to see EG before Reddit and lambgoat decided to poop on em. Live by the tweet die by the tweet

This show was absolutely incredible!!!! TÝR is my favorite band. We got vip tickets to see the acoustic set before the concert and meet the band. I have been a fan for almost 20 years. Seeing them was a bucket list item for me. I can now die happy. Long live TÝR!!! HAIL TO THE HAMMER!!!!!!!

I was only there for Smoke DZA, but everyone did well! Smoke DZA is great in concert and he’s soooo cool! Finally got to meet him! Last year I saw him for the first time and got a signed dollar bill from him. This time I got to meet him! Can’t wait to see what happens the next time! ☺️

Hatriot tore the house down - as usual. It's just a matter of time before these guys blow up and are headlining shows all over the country (if not the world). Tons of energy, great songwriting and a heaviness that echoes both classic thrash metal and death influenced vocals/stylings. Seen them twice and will see them again every time they come to town. We had our chests pressed up against the stage at Reggie's and banged our heads their entire set. Thanks to the Souza brothers and crew for another awesome show 🤘

Wow, just an awesome night. I really enjoyed the venue … intimate, but well laid out with great bartenders. And, Morgan. Damn - the album I’ve had on repeat for weeks delivered all the feelings. I was a fan before, but even more excited to see what her future holds. Shout out to the band - you all were great and the audience could feel how much you enjoy your craft!

Tommy Newport was amazing. Would go to see him any chance I got. He shows up to jam. I'm 50, don't go to a lot of "clubs", but Reggie's seemed a notch or two above the clubs I went to in my youth. DJ Just Bink was worth the price of admission twice over on her own. Find THAT wherever you can!

Pretty great performance from the whole band. Alex's vocals sounded pretty much like on the album. That one guitarist making the funny faces the whole time and shredding was a real G. I wish nothing but the best for these guys. Bands like Undeath, 200 Stab Wounds, Enforced, and Phobophilic keep people coming back and keep these genres alive. Also, Alex showed us his chest for a song. People wanted his butt though.

This show was incredible. Doors said to open at 7 but we got in by 8 and dro got on stage by like 9-9:30 but he was very good and had some hype songs but mostly chill. Midwxst on the other hand, INCREDIBLE. His raw energy was amazing and the crowd and everything, just wow insane. What a show

The opening acts were all great, and it was nice to see Ben Pringle enjoying the show before he had to perform! The venue is okay, but they kicked everyone out as soon as the bands stopped playing. It would have been nice to have some time to hang with the bands, all of whom seemed very interested.

What a great line-up it was, and it did not disappoint. Every band was amazing. First time I heard Caveman Cult and Bewitcher, and they were impressive. Incantation showed again why they are still around and proved why they are one of the heaviest bands around. And as always Goatwhore were in the pocket for all their songs. Awesome show

Insanely good. Dare I say best show I've ever been to? Suffocation played all their best songs and had incredible energy. This venue is an instant favorite- medium small space puts you right up close to the artist, all brick and concrete, all walls 100% plastered over with stickers - this place has history. There's an upper area with booths and seats to chill in, there's also an interesting little bricked step area along the side walls for people to sit on for a raised view. Full bar right on the floor has good beer selection.

Batushka is very overrated. But both Shows had solid lineups. I left in the middle of both Batushka sets (they were identical) due to the loud Beatles esque fans wooing, fainting, and screaming everything this guy pointed at some incense or skull on stage. Kinda lame, if I’m brutally honest, kinda got sorta poser-ish. Hails

Dave Kerzner previewed some of the new material for his new project In Continuum, it sounds great. What a talented band, Randy and Fernando were two great tasteful guitarists with chops and worked great together. Marco Minneman is a monster drummer. Gabriel, the singer did a great job with the new material as well as giving a faithful rendition to the Sound of Contact songs they did. Cool video projection made a nice backdrop. Simply an awesome show, so glad I was able to catch it!

Waited 26 years to see them and they fucking delivered! Wish there would have been more of the venue posters, it was cool as hell and was told there was only one and it was sold. If there is a way to get one I would really like to have the info on how to get it.
