Club C.O.D. (Come on Down) was a large venue in the Rogers Park/Edgewater area that played punk shows in the early 1980s. Because of its size, only larger acts played at C.O.D.'s - the smaller shows could be booked at Misfit's only a block away. It was a "remodeled basement club" that could hold "perhaps about a thousand people". C.O.D. met its doom on October 8th or 9th, 1982 (date needs verification) due to a fire under "mysterious circumstances", similiar to that of La Mere Vipere.
In 1982, Eric Nihilist put on a lot of shows featuring national acts at C.O.D.
