Venerable Chicago venue Fireside Bowl recently reopened its doors to bands after a six year absence from hosting shows and dramatic renovations between then and now. After roughly a decade of carving out a niche as an important aspect of the DIY scene in Chicago, Fireside closed its doors to shows in 2004 to renovate its dilapidated bowling lanes and refocus its business plan.
