Poster by Robert GomezThis was one of our best shows yet. The opening bands were good and we were playing, surprisingly, to a rather packed house. We love playing Quenchers. We also performed a cover of P.J. Harvey's "Dress" with minimal f-ups. Read more…

We had a track from No Sun played on this week's Local & Indie Podcast on One Kind Radio. They had some nice things to say about the CD and threw in a plug for tonight's show at the Beat Kitchen. Check it out!

We played the Beat Kitchen with Phantom Works (hard, art-rocking, minimalist Chicagoans), Self-Evident (Minneapolitan purveyors of complex guitarcrobatics… SO good!), and Scotia Widows (energetic Chicagoans boasting the algebraic formula: X + All = SW [maybe?]). Lots of photos to look at. Read more…

Nonagon Interviewed in Delusions of Adequacy

We were interviewed by the webzine Delusions of Adequacy a few months ago and it's finally up for you to read.

"Nonagon’s songs have a way of popping, no, better yet, of exploding out of stereo speakers, as if they were bottles of pressurized soda water just itching to be uncapped. On No Sun, their self-released and hand-assembled debut CD, angular guitars tear through the landscape, bass and drums lunge back and forth, and a barked refrain is never far away..."

This was our first time playing at Quenchers. A fine venue with good beer and tater-tot pizza. All the bands were great and 'twas a good time for all!

The Thrilla in Lake Villa

This was a really odd show. Two of the four bands didn't even bother to show up (Punk'n and The Oliver Twists in case you are wondering). The place was a really nice all ages hang out, but all the kids just stayed in the parking lot while the music and a screening of the film Puppy went on inside.
