Nice piece... Always enjoyed shows at Smart Bar. Friendly club with a great soundsystem... clearly can tell they're very nice people from the interview.

Thank god Amato is gone.

I'm used to shitty taste in bookings in Chicago but that guy was epic.

The story of him being completely unaware of who Justice was in November 2006 shows how far his head was up his ass. Yeah, that dude has real diverse taste.

Nate's got a big job ahead of him though, it's almost like Obama coming in after Bush, especially given the rumors that Sonotheque is closing (which I totally hope it does).

On a side note, what's up with all these cheeseheads running Smartbar?

Thanks for taking the time to check out my piece!
