Greetings! It’s been a brutal winter here in Chicago, but the rock has been providing the heat to thaw out this arctic despair. New songs are getting tuned up in anticipation for some recordings in the near future. BOTD has a couple great shows coming up in February so do yourself a favor and come check them out.

First up, the third annual Oak & Iron beer fest hosted by Jerry’s. Come gulp down some of the finest barrel-aged beer as BOTD and their friends ZUUL provide the soundtrack for this debaucherous event. Date is Thursday, Feb. 27th, 2014 with beer flowing starting at 6pm. Zuul on at 10:30pm and BOTD at 11:30pm. Get there early as the venue will be crowded and space is limited. Jerry’s is located at 1938 W. Division St. in Chicago. For more info, check out Oak & Iron III on Facebook. NO COVER either!

ZUUL and BOTD will also play Naperville, IL on Feb. 28th. A rare suburban appearance for BOTD will take place at The White Tavern with locals The Pastaways. This club is so good that this past September someone couldn’t even wait to get out of their car before entering! Show starts at 9pm with a $5 cover.

and….Just around the corner is the eighth edition of Alehorn of Power to held again at Reggie’s on Saturday, July 12th, 2014. Full bill to be announced soon!
