Silkworm

Dianogah

8 PM
$27

Hi friends. Due to joyful and spectacular interest in the Silkworm/Dianogah show scheduled for Friday, September 26, we are making it a ticketed event...so no one who is coming from out of state has to wonder if they have a spot or not. To keep ticket fees to a minimum and to keep the whole process local, my friends at Undertow Music (the folks who book my solo touring, etc) are hosting the ticketing on their site. See below for the link. Sales are capped at 100 so if you're into it I'd jump on it right away. Cheers, all! -mt

Doors open at 6pm
Show starts at 8pm
Must be 18+ to attend

Blood Lemon

Black Cross Hotel

9 PM
$10

No, "Halloween" is not a band (at least not in this case). It's a day to let your freak flag fly, and where better than the Loose Cobra? Please join us Friday, Oct 31, as we welcome in Blood Lemon (Boise, ID) and Black Cross Hotel (Chicago). I like this one. Alot. Please bring a $10-spot for the bucket, or more if you want to show even more love for our artists. Wear a costume if you like. (Lacking imagination, I'll be dressed as some version of myself, probably.) Music starts at 9:00. Grab-ass and dickery around 7:00. You know the drill. See you here/there/then. -mt

Need some sweet Loose Cobra gear?

Hey, just because we’re into Black Sabbath, Willie Nelson, and Rush doesn’t mean we can’t like sports too!

Our tournament quality steel-tipped dart area is one of the best (THE best?) around. I wouldn’t call us a sports bar per se, but the Cobra is a comfy place to take in a ball game, watch the Masters, or fritter away a Sunday afternoon with a homemade Bloody Mary and some NFL.

While Rush plays in the background, of course.

Want to reserve a TV for a specific game? Contact me and I’ll make it happen!
