Top Fuel Saloon has been called the CBGB of the Midwest. Owner Freak is a local DJ at the metal station at Q-Rock 100.7 at the moment but has been a staple for Rock and Metal for the last 25 years in the Chicago area including 9 years as a sidekick to Madcow's Morning Madhouse. Opening 2 years ago Top Fuel Saloon has been a stop for up-and-coming bands as well as major headliners to stop and rest, relax, jam out, and have a place to call home if only for a night or two. On March 31st they celebrated their 2nd Anniversary and Otherwise, Wayland, Vital Empire and Backlash helped party the night away.

The Intersection held an outdoor concert in their parking lot August 16.  They had the perfect weather of seventy-five degrees.  The parking lot started packing in as soon as the doors opened.

The featured drink of the night was Jesse James Dupree’s label bourbon.  Jesse James Dupree is also the lead singer of the headline band Jackyl.  Jesse is also known by many for the Full Throttle Saloon reality television show at the Sturgis, South Dakota motorcycle rally that is put on every year.

Many bikers were in the crowd that road many impressive looking motorcycles lined up and parked in front of The Intersection.  The packed parking lot was like one big rock and roll party atmosphere.  Fans young and old and families all blended in to enjoy the show.
