Dr. Acula moved to Ottobar.

 
Due to the temporary closing of our new favorite hot spot here in Baltimore, The Lo Fi Social Club, the Dr. Acula show has been moved to the Ottobar. Hopefully the venue will be opening it’s doors again sometime very soon. You may remember the Lo Fi from back when the Protomen were in town. […]
