11:00pm - The Dry Look is a feisty Chicago rock-and-roll trio serving up power pop, pub rock, ’60s garage flavor, and sharp originals alongside surprising covers. Their sound pulls from the Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, Trouser Press-era rock nerd energy, and classic barroom guitar music, all packed into a loud, hooky, no-frills live set. With releases like Cut Me In' in it's place - available on Soundcloud The Dry Look brings smart power-pop grit, punchy songs, and the kind of raw club energy that fits perfectly in a room like Montrose.
