Kankakee, Illinois. Midwest Mayhem Promotions presents… NO ESCAPE. Save the date. [MUSIC DROPS OUT COMPLETELY] [SURPRISE FEMALE VOCAL — SMOOTH] “February twentieth… No Escape. I’ll see you there.” [CAGE SLAM] I especially like the female ending now because instead of “coming soon,” she gives the date one last time. That makes the song itself the announcement.
