Circle City is no stranger to Primitive Rage. One of the most sinister sounding mosh bands in the Midwest. Truly one of a kind! And for those who saw the last minute Dose show two years ago, you know they're nonstop bounce and blistering energy. These are all buzzwords to say these bands rock and I love moshing to them. YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME. This bill is perfect. This is a Saturday. Bring your friends.
And as always, RESPECT THE SPACE AND RESPECT EACH OTHER.
