Knife Of Simpson has been kicking around the grimier corners of Chicago for close to a decade now. They're the kind of band that plays raw rock and roll dedicated to the true values of the red, white and blue.

Weekend before last we were at a birthday party at Quencher's and the bar was at least four deep with customers the entire length. It was the third consecutive year that the hosts of this party set a record bar ring for the bar. Normally, we'd be sampling from Quencher's extensive beer menu, but we're getting old and wanted a drink fast. $2 cans of LaCrosse Lager was music to our ears. more ›
