This time they are at the site of many of the bands much remembered shows at The Admiral. They are bringing along Hercules & Love Affair on this tour which is a solid add. Look for tickets HERE for the November 9th show.

Hard rock hit-makers Spiritbox, who have seemed to open up for many acts as they have come through the area, are headlining a tour which will stop at Steelhouse Omaha.
