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."
