Roger Miret and the Disasters
the Note Chicago, IL
Monday, February 10, 2003

Got there a little late, during song 3 I think. Apparently the first night of another tour for these guys, in which they are heading south next and catching up with, I forget whom. Anyway the show was awesome. I think these songs off their debut on Hellcat/Epitaph performed live are really solid and lend themselves to enjoying a beer and your hardcore punk roots and old-school-oi-ness. As I have said before, they are punk fraternal songs that obviously mean a lot to the band and tonight they were performed in the city and the skins showed up. Few boots, some braces, a few fringes. There were plenty of old Roger fans that came out to have a few on a Monday night. Not much else to say. No big surprises. Next time though, Roger and the Disasters need to play their forum: all ages. Oh yeah, there was something funny that happened. On the Note’s (club) voice mail message, where it said who was playing tonight, they called Roger, ’Roger Miret (with a hard T, like cigarette) and the Disasters.’ Come on dude, drop the beer and do your homework before you drop a message about whom you just booked.
