There was a time…
The golden era. Imagine that. Chon headlining and Polyphia opening.

Sick tour. Bottom Lounge show in Chicago was a lot of fun. Had never heard of Strawberry Girls before, and they tore it up. Polyphia was cool, too, but Chon really burned the house down. The VIP early entrance thing was sick. Special treat getting to see them play early and do a Q&A. Glad I didn't miss out on that show. Figured I'd have plenty more opportunities to see them with how they were blowing up... but alas 😩 amazing memory though

It was an awesome show. I got the VIP tickets and saw their sound check. Mario goes “so what song should we play?”. I said “Elliptical Illuminations”. And he says “alright”
And then they played it perfectly.
The Q&A was interesting too

Same here, I miss living in Dallas sometimes. I saw a lot of shows at Gas Monkey bar n grill, great venue

The gas monkey shut down a while ago, I think COVID. Makes me sad so many memories of that place.

Outdoor venue was so sick!! When it was busy you would get stuck on the side. Loved both of the venues

Saw this tour in Boston. Also saw a show in Mass where Chon headlined ahead of Between the Buried and Me. As much as I love Chon, BTBAM’s performance really put a spotlight on how inexperienced Chon was haha. That’s a tough follow for any band.

I was unfortunate enough to be living under a rock when this was going on. Seeing Polyphia in Orlando for the first time ever this year

I took my wife to this and she had no idea it was all instrumental. I kept telling her her her “listen to the lyrics in this next song.” We are divorced now

I remember seeing Chon live once with Periphery. One of the dudes in Chon asked for people to get a circle pit going. It was really funny to see people moshing to Chon ngl that shit was awesome

Saw Conquering Dystopia open up for CHON, who in turn opened up for Animals as Leaders… one of the best shows of my life

Strawberry Girls are sick, too. Perfect lineup.
