FALL OUT BOY HAS GOT PEOPLE FREAKING OUT TODAY

April 22, 2017 | Kevin

Fall Out Boy are up to something big involving movie theaters, cryptic tweets, and sending fans to find clues that all lead to the date 4.28.17. Call me a sucker for an online gorilla marketing maze, anyone remember all the fun stuff you could find out about ‘The Dark Knight’ Batman movies before they came out? That was a hoot. The characters in the found footage monster mash movie ‘Cloverfield’ had their own Myspace pages which hinted at what was going to happen in the flick. Yes, the Myspace reference made me feel dated as well.

Now a band that rose from VFW Halls in Arlington Heights to headlining Riot Fest, Fall Out Boy is sending their faithful fans out on a chase for clues. Here’s a timeline of it all. Yesterday the band tweeted out this. It got the FOB fandom going bonkers retweeting it over 2 thousand times through out the day. It sent fans around Chicago to movie theaters.

A saint of a fan followed the clues to an actual movie theater to watch the theater as directed. And he may broken the rules by filming something on his phone in the theater, but it’s worth it for this delight morsel that will have you drooling if your a fan of Patrick Stump and company.

Yep, it looks like we are getting something ( let’s just assume, it’s new music) from Fall Out Boy on the 28th. That’s this Friday. Okay, you can breathe now…UNTIL THIS?!

And now Pete Wentz dropping even more hints and teasers on his Twitter feed?! Read here.

Check out FOB playing ‘Thnks Fr Th Mmrs’ from their live concert film ‘Boys Of Zummer Live In Chicago’. These hometown boys did good.

CHICAGO — Portillo’s is dubbed the preferred regional food chain in Illinois.

Wisely, a restaurant technology agency, surveyed Facebook audience data for more than 300 regional restaurant chains all over the country. They analyzed their “Likes” by state and created a map showcasing which chains each state enjoyed the most. (MORE HERE)

THE CAKE SHAKE IS EVERYTHING!! It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I usually order mine to go and walk home. That way I feel like I’ve REALLY earned it.

WATCH: Gorillaz first live on-camera video interview

April 21, 2017 | Marconi🍕

 

Murdoc and 2D sat with host Mistajam for a half hour, answering questions from him and submitted by fans. The two came off as funny and strangely real during the chat, which covered a wide range of topics, ranging from 2D’s high-waisted “mom jeans” to his hilarious encounter with singer, model and actress Grace Jones during the sessions for their new album, Humanz, to Murdoc’s favorite writer “Bob Kerouac, a distant relation of Jack who wrote a book called By the Side of the Road.” (MORE HERE)
