This is our first collaboration with another company and we chose LOOP APPAREL as our maiden voyage! We are partnering up with them tonight (FRI July 31st) for a great outdoor party. We hope to see you there!
Alkaline Trio brings back old memories of a packed car all air drumming and singing along. Must have been a confusing sight for the other drivers, but those were the days.
I just put the Rise Against video on for ‘Swing Life Away’….they whole video takes place at the Fireside. Oh man do I want an Old Syle really bad right now. I’m buying this shirt now.
I was very honored when Loop Apparel asked me to design this shirt. I was never able to catch a show at the Fireside. Thanks for giving me this opportunity.
Hey – glad you guys got some bigger sizes….they look awesome on and am getting plenty of positive comments – Gotta love a big man in a custom t-shirt. Keep on kicking butt
Today has been a darn good day but I can’t wait for the party tonight. I’m getting out of work in 41 minutes and I’m going straight to get the kegs. Word.
Loop Apparel commissioned the incredibly talented Luis Medel Jr. to design this specific shirt for us. Both of us love music and we miss the Fireside A LOT. In a very bad way do we want to Bring Back the Fireside for one more Alkaline Trio show…I wonder if we can make this happen.
Loop Apparel is a Chicago (proper) based company that loves everything about the City of Wind…especially its music scene. Since there aren’t any shows at the Fireside join us tonight for a backyard concert at 1223 N. Wolcott 60622. $5 Cover. Beer Included. Featuring Alex Hoffer, Derek Nelson and Kelsey Wild. Show starts at 9.00pm and you can still buy this shirt until 12.00am.

I love the Fireside! I can remember having my first Old Style when I was 14 waiting for Slapstick to take the stage. Ah yes, the good old days…..
