DS Gallery: Flatfoot 56’s St. Patrick’s Day bash in Chicago featuring Catch 22, The Copyrights and MANIA! (Reggie’s Rock Club, 3/8/25)
It is March, which means it is time for Flatfoot 56’s annual St. Patrick’s Day bash in Chicago! Held at Reggie’s Rock Club, this year’s sold-out show included Catch 22, The Copyrights and MANIA.
MANIA is one of Chicago’s newest punk bands featuring members of Bad Sons. They are surely here to stay as they left an impressive mark with their high-energy and aggressive scowls, hyping up an increasingly packed house.
Pop punk band The Copyrights have been around since 2002 and are currently signed with the infamous Fat Wreck Chords. The Carbondale, Illinois band certainly has their own following, especially being around for as long as they have been. The Copyrights are a midwestern pop punk staple.
Adding to the varied punk genres of the night, New Jersey’s ska band Catch 22 made an appearance. Their 1998 debut studio album Keasbey Nights is a ska essential. We have a feeling you will be seeing more of them in the future! They currently have several fests lined up this year: Derby Punk Fest, Pioneer Valley Ska Fest and Supernova International Ska Festival.
Bringing the late night to a close, Flatfoot 56 brought the aggressive Celtic punk to the St. Patrick’s Day bash, making everyone a little Chi-rish. You can catch them in April for a couple of shows with The Koffin Kats and the absolutely stacked line up that is Punk in the Park Denver this summer.
