About Us.........Summer of 2007 the staff of The Boiler Room heard of a possible facility opening in Chicago Illinois. A couple of weeks later we came up to see the space for ourselves. As we walked through the building we saw tons of un-tapped potential. The first thing that came to mind as we saw the space was, “It’s a venue.†To the casual observer it looked like somewhere your grandma could have her tea parties, but we saw more. Over a year we made renovations, and prepared to launch a venue that would truly serve the local music scene. We are in The Church In West Ridge’s facility because many of us that volunteer at the Boiler Room are apart of The Church In West Ridge. The Boiler Room is funded and supported by that group of people. For The Church In West Ridge it’s a way to give back, and provide an opportunity to be around some people that care. However, you will never be preached to, tricked, or judged about whatever you believe. Also, as a patron of The Boiler Room you might want to know a few things. We barely take anything that comes through the door. What we do take goes to admin, operating costs, up keep, but the rest of the money goes back to the bands you love, and want to support. We do not make any money. Most venues take way over half. We realize it’s hard to get a start and be a band that makes no money, so in that way we provide a way for bands to get started. We are here if you need anything.
