The Matches 20 Year anniversary
by Chuck C JANGLE LEG on 10/1/24House of Blues Chicago - ChicagoThe Matches 20 Year anniversary show in Chicago for their first album E.Von Dahl Killed The Locals! Took my 16yr old to finally see our favorite band together. ::We could not miss this concert, since they do not perform anymore and my kid has been asking to see My / our favorite band since she was little: She got to meet all four band members and they were each so nice, welcoming and excited to see a new generation of fan rocking out so hard at their show. A few of them telling her how long they've known her dad and how cool it was to have her at the show. To say this show was incredible is an understatement. You could legitimately feel the ground shaking in that place. She got in the mosh pits, crowd surfed, and sang her heart out to Every song. The community of Matches fans are now and have always been my favorite crowd. At a Matches show you share stories, sweat, and laughs together. Throw your arms around your neighbors and passionately shout lyrics along with all. A Matches reunion is not just a reunion for the band, it's a reunion for us all. To quote a few Matches lyrics: "When you belong to a song, Salty Eyes! YOU BELONG" "It'll be just like you were never gone" "If I'm the sum of all my friends, Then all my friends are some of me And if you're some way just like them Then I am you to some degree."
