Excited to be coming back to Philly and checking out Union Transfer, don't think it was open when we were here last time. See you on February 7.

Great concert. Disappointing venue, but really only due to Pennsylvania liquor laws.

This place fucking sucks ass. They won't let you go outside to have a cigarette unless you're over 21. Lamest thing I've ever heard of.
