SHERWOOD, ARMOR FOR SLEEP, THE ROCKET SUMMER
Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 8pm


All Ages - 21 or older to drink

This band is up and coming from Chicago - just a stone's throw away from home.. and their music is awesome.

Here's what The Rave website wrote about The Academy Is.. and their upcoming performance:

"Drawing from an eclectic repertoire of influences that includes Death Cab for Cutie, Pink Floyd and Weezer, The Academy Is... shoots from the hip and aims for the heart. This up-and-coming Chicago band offers a bright, emo-driven interpretation of rock with a high hook quotient and an earnest charm. Their two releases on Fall Out Boy's record label serve as a love letter to music itself. Equal parts snapshots and stories, their tracks sparkle with freshness and chronicle the tumultuous lives of young, impassioned musicians running on dreams.

Side Stage Acts

* Dare of The Day
* Late April
* Shades Of Reality
* Liv Kid
* Josh Aarron"

Dare of The Day is also supposed to be really great, a friend of mine is a huge Academy Is.. fan and mentioned this act.
