Circle II Circle is playing Nite Cap in Chicago on December 10th. Sacred Dawn and Divinity Compromised are on the bill as well. Hope to see some of you Chicago people there!
Lame, I guess their "Midwest" tour should be called a "Tour of Illinois + detriot and kenosha too"
LOL... I just went to circle2circle.net to see if these tour dates had been posted there... and someone finally posted the PREVIOUS set of tour dates! They pre-dated the news post to 10/30, to make it look like the info was there the whole time, LOL!

haha, this gets more and more hilarious and mysterious! I've lived in the Chicago area my whole life and had never even heard of Beach Park. I didn't think any Europe-touring band could find a place to play between Milwaukee and Chicago, but these guys found two!
Did that show at the Penny Road Pub ever actually happen? I guess their back-dated list of upcoming shows indicates that it didn't, which explains why I couldn't find any evidence of any attendees on the web.
In this day and age, you have to be some kind of super-hacker in control of half the Internet to be this good at keeping the word about any of your shows from leaking out!

The question is, considering these dates are considered pretty "weird" locations, do you guys think the band is actually gonna get a decent turnout?
Yes, right outside of Chicago, in Tampa, FL.
The only people at these shows will be whatever "regulars" hang out at these bars on Friday nights, plus three to seven CIIC fans who miraculously heard about the shows.
haha, no. Of the four "Chicago" area shows, I haven't been to any of the venues, and Nite Cap's is the only one I've even heard of (and keep in mind that I've been to 60+ shows at 23 different venues this year).

Any chance that there is some more detail about this show.... i.e. set times? I know it's a lot to ask given the situation, but I'll be in Chi-town that weekend arriving at O'Hare that night around 8pm....wondering when the bands will be playing such that maybe I can make it....
I'm glad someone else said this. Last time I said anything similar I nearly got lynched by my local circle of friends....cause it's true.
Well, let's be 100% honest.
I like Savatage, but outside a very small circle of metal fans, they really are not that big, let alone CIIC. Though they don't exactly promote themselves well.
Good on Vito and Divinity Comprimised for actually promoting a show!
Thanks Jason!
No problem. I mean that sincerely too.
Nothing bothers me more when bands book these shows, and fail to mention it....anywhere!
Just WAY too many shows going on every week to have the "Book it and they will come" philosophy.
I have certainly known about all of your gigs, between Ultimate Metal, Facebook, and beyond.
Maybe give CIIC some tips at the show!
Nah, c'mon, that's their origin, but they must have all moved recently or something. These Chicago area shows are scheduled Friday/Saturday this week, then Friday the next week, and Friday the next week. I know that nothing about this whole debacle speaks highly of their planning skills, but they can't be so stupid as to just hang out here for three weeks, or go back to Florida each week. Unless these are just the first dates announced, and within the next four days they're going to fill them in with a dozen weekday shows in the Chicago region at even more obscure places!
