Advance Base w/ guests TBAMay 3, 2026
Doors: 6:30PM/Show: 7:30PM
Advance Base is the melancholic soft rock recording project of Chicago, IL, singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Using a two-handed arsenal of electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, effect pedals drum machines, Ashworth builds minimalist, heavy-hearted, nostalgia-obsessed ballads around his conversational baritone. The warm, electronic sound of Advance Base has been described as "lo-fi," "depressed" "weirdly uplifting."
The debut Advance Base album, A Shut-In's Prayer, was released in 2012, was one of MOJO Magazine's favorite albums of the year. PopMatters named Nephew in the Wild the #1 Indie Pop Album of 2015. Animal Companionship, the third album, was released September 21, 2018, by Run For Cover Records / Orindal Records. GoldFlakePaint Various Small Flames both listed Animal Companionship among their favorite albums of 2018. Advance Base's newest album, Horrible Occurrences, was Stereogum's Album of the Week.
"It’s with no exaggeration we describe Owen Ashworth as one of the most consistent and important songwriters in contemporary indie music. From the earliest Casiotone For the Painfully Alone demos to most recent Advance Base single ‘Little Sable Point Lighthouse‘, Owen has crafted a catalogue of characters and circumstances with few rivals in the modern era. His is an ever evolving body of work which stands out in its deftness and humility and empathy and care, bringing to life individuals from across the spectrum of human experience while remaining unerringly attuned to the tender, fallible heart at the centre of each." - Various Small Flames
"A Raymond Carver short story collection set to music by a Joan of Arc-era OMD" - MOJO Magazine
***THIS SHOW IS ON THE 2ND FLOOR & ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY STAIRS. We would love nothing more than to be able to welcome every human into the theater and are working really hard to have an elevator built in the near future.***
