Young lead singer forced to play gig outside at over-21 venue as rest of the band played inside

Odds and Sods
A lead singer refused entry to his own gig because he was too young made sure the show went on by playing along with his band from outside.
Andy Milad, 20, was shocked to find a strict over-21 door policy on turning up at a Chicago bar with his Michigan-based "Wayne Szalinski" bandmates last weekend. But instead of cancelling the concert, they decided to make the best of a bad situation.

Milad's microphone was hooked up to the sound system inside, so his singing and guitar playing could be heard by the audience watching Andrew Adams, Kurtis Roy and Nick Galli onstage. Milad said the four-piece was unaware of the bar's entry policy beforehand.

"It was hilarious to perform to the streets of Chicago and watch the faces of confused passerby," he said. "People came from inside the bar to watch as well. All in all, it turned out to be a fun and creative solution to the problem and certainly beat going home unpaid that night."
