Double (Or Quadruple) Your Pleasure

4 bands at the Double Door on a Thursday night at 8 pm. Thursday at the Double Door is just the way to get the weekend chugging along. (If you are at the Chicagoist party 2 doors down stop by) Jesus + the Devil, My Big Beautiful, Low of the Low and The Quitters will be dropping serious Rawk on MusicWithMeanings seventh night.

Get to know the bands -

Jesus and the Devil is a highly energetic, dirty rock band from Chicago. For the past few years, the band has been playing every dive bar, collapsing stage and house party they come across. With the best elements of the Stooges, MC5 and the Clash, Jesus and the Devil are everything you want in a rock band. Last year the group released their first EP, the appropriately titled, “Destructive Music Resists the Oncoming Light.” Five songs full of destructive guitars, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, this five piece is just as good on record as they are live.

My Big Beautiful are deep-rooted in the Chicago area music scene. Members have hooked up with Naked Raygun players in bands such as The Bomb and The Tarts. The Pop-Punk outfit hails from Joilet that often sound like early Green Day or variations of the Smoking Popes. Cathcy songs, straight-forward music.

Low Of The Low - These cats are new - so new that there's not much ink out there.

The Quitters - Out of the ashes of the Land of the El Caminos, Dead Electric, the Drip, Young and Pretty, and Trim (and a bunch of other bands youve never heard of) come the Quitters. They play loud, fast, fuzzy, snotty rock and roll. No pretense, no posing, no shit. They have no time for anything that isnt rock and roll, so if you like odd time signatures and alternate tunings and bands that wear ties and blazers and all that - go elsewhere.

We have been posting links about things to do near the venue, but you know what is around the Double Door.
