flowersatherfeet, Thur, June 12
Formed in May 2024 - Tim and Ivory were brought together by a chance encounter a couple years prior while walking a dog. Tim and I were already in another band, where I sang, and we were working on our second EP. It was taking longer than expected and I wanted to keep writing songs, so initially this was meant to be a side project. Tim had mentioned that he knew Ivory and she was a singer, but I had never heard her sing.
I thought it was going to be a lo-fi shoegaze project with airy vocals. We all met for the first time and jammed on our first song “fade.” The second I heard Ivory sing I decided to quit all music projects and make flowersatherfeet my only focus. We released “fade” in late August, “tempted” in September, “buried” in October, “hindsight” in November, and “dopamine” in December, all as singles. We are releasing our first full length album “elegy” on Valentine's Day. We will also be doing a few southern and East Coast dates in March.

stop.drop.rewind, Thur, Feb 20
Kris Lohn & DJ Crenson have been writing & playing music together continuously since 2000, in almost any formal and informal situation you can think of: punk bands, orchestras, church band, ska club, singer-songwriter groups, school band, and of course their prog-punk band stop.drop.rewind. This has given them a unique perspective on writing both as a team and on music in general, plus insight into persevering and forging your own path in an unforgiving industry.
They added Andy Sutton in 2015 to fully solidify their unique, energetic, and ever-evolving sound. Kris and Andy are not only the core rhythm section for ‘stop.drop.rewind’, but have backed up premier artists on hundreds of performances in the Chicagoland area and nationwide (Marbin, Slim Gambill of Lady A, Kofi Baker, Joe Marcinek and more). Hot off the release of their self-titled 4th record, the band is touring the West Coast and gearing up for their second trip to Canada - after a highly successful stint there in 2024. Dont miss their super fun, super tight live show!
