THANK YOU CHICAGO for a sold out ESA experience! Much appreciation to everyone who helped promote and got stompy on the floor. Can’t wait until next time. Killer performances from Nevada Hardware and [melter]. Shoutout to the staff at Livewire who took care of us.

Two Piece Fest is this weekend. We honored to be a part of this event that we are sharing with 40+ other acts over multiple nights. Such a great idea!
We play Friday 13th at Cary’s Lounge along with Lemon Knife, Off Season and Wet Chain. Come out early as we are on first. Show is FREE so you have no excuse not to come and spill some blood with us all!

[melter] is coming to devon avenue! This Chicago-based dark alternative duo—the brainchild of Robert Hyman and Jax Allos—is a delicious sonic disturbance made of flesh, blood, and machine. They specialize in that moody, high-voltage rock that feels like a fever dream in a strobe-lit dungeon. By bleeding industrial grit into sleek post-punk elegance, they’ve mastered a sound that is as sexy as it is mechanical. It’s dark, it’s rhythmic, and it’s coming for you.
Catch this ritual live on Friday the 13th at Cary’s Lounge for TWO PIECE FEST CHICAGO. This event is FREE, but please plan on tipping all duos and venue staff!!! ✌️
