Quenchers w/ Party Downers

This show is in the process of being revamped. Check back soon for updates.

Crunchy Frog in Green Bay, Wisconsin

Well, this was an interesting evening. We apologize  to the good people of Green Bay who braved the cold expecting an enjoyable night of pleasant music only to find us stuck in the mix. We were put on this bill at the last minute with the kind help of Jim, whose floor we ended up sleeping on later that night. Read more…

Sauce in Minneapolis, Minnesota w/ Self-Evident, Buildings and Shageki

Poster by Roger Lootine

A rare out-of-town show! The first stop on our tour of Minnesota and Wisconsin (a.k.a. Upstate Illinois) was a fun show featuring some great bands (Self-Evident, Buildings & Shageki) and lots of fun times. Read more…

Quenchers w/ Bear Claw and .22

Kill Hatsumomo Bear Claw Poster

Another fun Quenchers show with a huge crowd. They were lining up out front! Noteworthy moment: Tony losing a stick into the crowd and hitting a spectator square in the face.

Cal's Liquors w/ Blackout Dates, The Heavy Bombers

Yet another rocking time was had. This time it was down in the Loop at Cal's Liquors with The Heavy Bombers and Blackout Dates! Posters photos and a video of Blackout Dates all documented for your future Nonagon fan-fiction inspiration. Read more…

The Mutiny w/ Heavy Bombers, I Love Rich & Fossil Arm

More details to come...

Quenchers w/ Future Ghosts and Waxeater

in

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…

The Beat Kitchen w/ Self-Evident...

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…

Quenchers w/ The Poles

in

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.
