Eagles Club shows

20 years ago I started to go to shows at various Eagles clubs around the Midwest. The Eagles had clubs in Madison, Racine and Milwaukee. Times were tough for those fraternal Eagles, so they started to rent their clubs to just about anybody. I saw a Crusties show at the Milwaukee Eagles club in 1986. The club members did not like a punk band defiling their hallowed hall. I don't even think that a Milwaukee rock band would have soothed the anger. Now, it's common practice to see lots of shows at lots of Eagles clubs in Wisconsin.

Racine clubs

Broadzilla cancelled their Racine show last Saturday at McAuliffes Pub. I would say that it was their loss for sure. The place was packed on Saturday. Hwy 13 played one of their last shows. It was a great set. Princess Meatfist, featuring Binky Tunny opened the night. Finally, Binky Tunny and the Farmland Chokehold closed the night. The snow started to fall just before the bar closed, and the ride was slippery. It was too bad for Broadzilla. Supposedly, one of the band members was ill. I would would have been ill if I missed such a killer crowd at McAuliffes.

Highway 13 and the big drums

I saw Hwy 13 play at City Haul in Racine a couple weeks back. The drummer's drums were enormous. The band played classics from AC/DC along with their original rock music. The Hwy13 guys were very nice to say the least. City Haul is a typical old school bar. I saw a lot of 80's style patrons there. They were into the music for sure. Racine has something over Milwaukee when it comes to rock and roll fans.
