The Alder Kings at Red Line Tap (21 photo set)

The Alder Kings are a three piece, high octane, high gain, instrumental psycho surfabilly band from Chicago. 

The Alder Kings combine influences from greats like Dick Dale, Link Wray and The Cramps with a heavier, aggressive and decidedly spooky edge. Rooted in the classics, but definitely not your Daddy's surf.

Since forming in 2010 the fiery Chicago trio has played shows throughout the midwest and shared stages with national and international acts such as: Michale Graves, Blitzkid, The Rhythm Dragons,The Living Deads, Daikaiju, The Hudson Falcons, Jane Rose and the Dead End boys, Kill Baby Kill and The World Famous Krank Daddies. 

In 2011 they released their debut EP "Who Goes there". The follow up, "Mister Creeper" was released in October, 2013 with a third release planned for summer 2014.

This photo set is of The Alder Kings performance last night at The Red Line Tap: 7006 N. Glenwood Avenue, Chicago, IL 60626

Taste Food & Wine - Meet the Winemakers Wine Tasting
1506 W. JARVIS AVENUE CHICAGO, IL. 60626

PHONE: (773) 761-3663

Meet the Masut da Rive family from Friuli, Italy, and taste their wines. A nice aperitif to dinner at Towbar! 
"Masut da Rive is a winemaking family from Friuli, Italy based in the Isonzo region. Through three generations, they have learned to produce wine in the traditional Italian style while using both international and local grape varietals. As a small, family-run farm, they take every precaution to ensure each bottle is of the highest quality. From discarding excess grapes from the vine during the growing season to hand picking only the best grapes during harvest, Masut da Rive truly represents the union of traditional style with artisanal ability."
