Caligula Blushed - is the most authentic and only Smiths/Morrissey tribute band touring the U.S. today. Fronted by Chris "Quinn" who embodies the persona of Morrissey to perfection, accompanied by "Johnny Marr disciple", Crag Gildner and an impeccable rhythm section, the band takes pride in faithfully recreating the music of The Smiths and Morrissey.
You will be delighted to hear classic hits like "this Charming Man," "Everyday Is Like Sunday," "How Soon Is Now?," "Ask," "Suedehead" "Bigmouth Strikes Again," "First of the Gang to Die," and many more...including deep cuts.

RED WIZARD NEEDS FOOD BADLY You are old as shit if you get that reference. Or, i don`t know, you have an emulator. Anyhoo.
Quoth @retrogamenight.bmore -> Step into the dungeon and gear up for a night of pure co‑op chaos at @ottoupstairs. Gauntlet: Dark Legacy takes center stage as we dive into endless rooms, ruthless monsters, and the kind of frantic teamwork that either bonds friends... or breaks them. The original 1985 arcade classic will be there too, ready to drain your health, your potions, and your pride.
But the mayhem doesn`t stop at the dungeon door. The Golden Axe games bring the beat `em up steel, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for the four‑player drift wars, SSX Tricky sends you barreling down the slopes in style, and Power Stone unleashes arena brawls that redefine what a party fighter can be.
A night full of retro chaos, co‑op heroics, and multiplayer mayhem — all happening upstairs at the Ottobar. Grab your crew, pick your game, and see how long you can hold onto your lives.
