Uriah Heep at Mojoes (Joliet) August 11

[modernwizardry]

Just noticed this. It's not on the Uriah Heep Website but I heard from a couple people and checked it out. I'll be attending for sure since this is in my backyard.

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much better than Viper Alley up in Lincolnshire.
Will definitely be a better crowd too.

Just downloaded their newest last night in fact.
Killer straight through.

Rock.

I just checked, and this show is listed on the MOJOES site and tickets are on sale. $30 in advance.

VERY excited as I wasn't thrilled about the Viper Alley in Lincolnshire gig.

 

[modernwizardry]

Yeah, same here about not being thrilled about going to Lincolnshire. I haven't heard the new album yet. I'll try to pick up a copy at the show. I'm gonna get my ticket soon.

 

[nomisofsiman]

I would love to see them, but I'm officially passing on all shows until mid-September.

 

[Jasonic]

Anyone going to this?

 

[modernwizardry]

Yes, I'm going but I haven't bought my ticket yet.

 

[MetalSpice]

FYI to those who haven't heard the news....the Mojoes show has been cancelled.

[Diabolik]

what happened? Didnt Mojo's also have to cancel a show a few months back due to gang violence? Cant remember the show.

 

[MetalSpice]

Yeah, I forget who was playing but they had to shut it down for a week or something due to gang violence. Doesn't surprise me one bit. Not sure why they decided to put that venue in the butthole of Joliet but they did. I know I'm just a white girl from Naperville, but that area is pretty bad...even during the day.

Oh, and to answer your question...I have no idea why it was cancelled. I can't get on Facebook right now to do any digging.

 

[Jasonic]

DAMN!!! Thanks for posting it.
They are playing tonight at Viper Alley, but that's way too little notice for me to be able to make it.

They are playing in Oct with BOC in NYC.

 

[modernwizardry]

that sucks. I was looking forward to it.

 

[MetalSpice]

Anyone end up going to the Viper Alley show?
I heard it rocked.

 

[MetalSpice]

They are playing in Oct with BOC in NYC.

I saw BOC at the Ribfest last summer. I didn't know Rudy Sarzo was playing for them, so that was a nice treat.
It was a good show!

 

[Jasonic]

I have been trying to see BOC for a few years.
Every year it never works out!

I heard the same about Viper Alley as well.
Saw some pics on FB.
