🎤 Lineup & Artist Bios
🕗 8:00 PM – The Bon Mots (Chicago, IL)
A jangly, psychedelic-pop quartet formed in 2000, The Bon Mots have been praised as “Chicago’s best-kept secret” in indie rock. Their debut Le Main Drag (2003) showcased lush harmonies, cerebral hooks, and a breezy-yet-melancholic Midwestern charm that’s endured across several acclaimed releases.

🕘 9:00 PM – badcandy (Chicago, IL)
A visceral Chicago rock band formed in 2019, Bad Candy fuses modern post‑rock with gritty garage‑rock aesthetics. Fronted by Ani DiFranco, her words have long shaped Alex Subak’s songwriting. Rounded out by Todd Gutner (drums), Matt Walters (bass/guitar), and Mike Vinopal (guitar), their debut Regret (recorded/mixed at Electrical Audio) is steeped in raw emotional energy.

🕙 10:00 PM – Dave Suh & The Dirty Wings (Chicago, IL)
Led by veteran guitarist Dave Suh (Caviar, Woolworthy, The Cells), this group delivers a unique blend of grunge, power-pop, and soulful Americana. Their debut Set to Begin is described as “a gritty, melodic meditation on collapse, survival, and starting over,” with big hooks and emotionally urgent vocals driving every track.

🕚 11:00 PM – Cisco Pike (Chicago, IL)
A revival of Chicago’s rich indie-rock past, Cisco Pike is a dynamic collective featuring members tied to The Cells lineage. Their sound walks the line between roaring guitars and dreamy harmonies—bittersweet lyrics grounded in lived experience and a stage presence known to pull in both nostalgia and fresh emotional urgency.
