Ted Cantu On CHICAGO RIOT FEST: MOTHER !!! "Do You Like $12 Steak and Cheese?"


AH CHICAGO RIOT FEST 2014

Even rock and roll hooligans get hungry. Once you are roped in the big gates at Humboldt Park you are at the mercy of the concert promoters. And that means paying out huge prices on commonly decent food items. I admit... I shelled out money for a $12 steak and cheese during the Chicago Riot Fest concert in Sept. I was still hungry after I ate the thing. Then I got thirsty later and shelled out more dough on some decent beer.... this was $7 each. Rock and roll isn't exactly a cheap hobby.

From a marketing stand point this gets pretty interesting. Putting a fence around your customers and then giving them a series of options that they need. I guess the most important thing here is giving your customers EXACTLY what they need.... The food variety at Riot Fest is not for the health conscious. It is for the rock and roll crowd and that basically means deep fried everything, lots of BBQ items, burgers, big lamb gyros, kabobs, and even giant turkey legs, ( I actually found some giant turkey leg bones on the ground).

My marketing advice?  Give your people plenty of everything.... lots of variety... and always leave them hungry for more !!

TED CANTU: The Buzzcocks Are The Focus On The September Articles In Hot Metro Finds

Detroit, Michigan – The Buzzcocks are back on the road and will be stopping in Detroit at Saint Andrews Hall this month. They will also be playing at Chicago’s Riot Fest 2014 and will be doing a set there on day 2. The event in Chicago is a three day alternative rock festival that will feature many classic acts and indie bands including Weezer, Gwar, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Anti Flag, The Picture Books, The Afghan Whigs, The World is a Beautiful Place, The Orwells, The Bots,  Face to Face, Saosin, The American Scene, Die Antwood, The Cure, Janes Addiction and many more.



The Buzzcocks hail from the UK Punk movement in 1976 and will be joined by other alumni including The Stiff Little Fingers, and TheCure. Front man Peter Shelley will be joined by another original member of the band – Steve Diggle. This years festival is going to go all out and will be featuring the manic energy from all areas of the punk and post-punk scene throughout the decades. This is sort of a best of from this genre of music. HotMetro Finds will be covering the festival and will be writing and commenting on the sets delivered by these iconic bands.

“The Buzzcocks are a phenomenal act and the contribution made to punk and post punk music is huge.” Says Hot Metro Finds creator, TedCantu. “The singles all the way up to later releases like All Set have brought pop sensibility to the overall sound. The fans love it. Many of those records can be played over and over again they aged well.” Along with the coverage of the live performance at Riot Fest there will also be series of video highlights throughout the Buzzcocks multi-decade career.


There will be other acts from the Buzzcocks era from the NewYork scene including Television and Patti Smith. This event will be a who’s who of punk and post punk and the bands will be set up on multiple stages. The Portland band The Dandy Warhols will be playing in the same time slot as the Buzzcocks on day 2. Both bands have a strong following and the fans will have to decide on who to watch. One can’t lose on Riot Fest 2014 and it should be one amazing event.
