Subhumans live performance photos at Reggies Rock Club in Chicago. Performing as part of their 2025 North American Tour along with FEA and  Blind Adam And The Federal League.  "The Subhumans, a seminal punk band formed in Wiltshire in 1980, have consistently delivered electrifying live performances that resonate with both long-time fans and new audiences. Their concerts are a testament to their enduring energy and commitment to punk rock ideals." Voice Magazine. Blind Adam and The Federal League opened the show and got the place warmed up perfectly. They were followed by the band FEA from San Antonio TX. The place was full of energy, and by the time Subhumans hit the stage, the place went nuts, and a full-on mosh pit started. Overall, I had a great experience, and these are some of the few moments I was able to capture with my phone camera. ~Artemorbid

There is also some short footage of their music featured below.  The weather was harsh as the show time approached several storms began to roll in and made it difficult for travel. Regardless of the rain which came down hard, many trooped it out and were there in time to see the performances. Each band played a short set to accommodate for time. The show was seventeen plus and the venue wanted to make sure not to run late. Everything ran very smoothly without any issues and all the bands brought their best to the stage.  I used PowerDirector to edit the video and audio. Audio was a...

Greetings and salutations. Today I am sharing a few photos of Liar's Club on Fullerton Ave. This is part of the event featuring Blood of The Wolf, Ossuary, Angelust and Garoted. The photos are from the outside of the venue and several from the inside. This was my first time visiting the place. I play guitar in the band Blood Of The Wolf and live fairly close to the area. The traffic getting there was ok but slowly got congested as we got closer. The venue opens at 7pm and the parking is tough as there is only side parking off the side of Fullerton where there is heavy traffic at times. On an interesting note. While we waiting for the place to open we searched the internet for parking issues we found a story about the place being haunted. Apparently, there were a few murders on the second floor of this building. Very creepy. I plan to add the news footage and the photos I captured here. I will also have a follow-up post to showcase the band photos from the event. The venue inside is...
