Show Lineup

In The Pines

(Cincinnati, OH)
Genre: Indie Rock

Wide-eyed and longing, In The Pines creates its own sacred geometry of rock. Through unexpected collisions of psychedelia, prog rock, shoegaze, and blues, the band decorates a sprawling sonic landscape with lyrics and melodies that walk a tightrope of restless, youthful exploration and mystical profundity.

Rookie

(Chicago, IL)
Genre: Indie Rock

Rookie is a rock/americana quintet hailing from all across Chicago, from north to south. Their debut, self-titled album hit the public on March 13th of 2020, a day now remembered as the unofficial shutdown of the US. The release, recorded to magnetic tape at Chicago’s ownTreehouse Records, showcased the group’s ability to craft songs and wield their instruments to their fullest extent, all the while demonstrating a penchant for the now “classic” power pop and soft rock songsters of the 1970s.Prior to the release of their debut, Rookie had spent a month touring the east coast with the iconic Cheap Trick, followed by a short midwest run with fellow Chicagoans, Twin Peaks. In addition, they were slated to open for and back Brendan Benson of the Raconteurs. Though brought to a halt, these tour dates allowed the quintet to showcase their abilities as a live group, built from years of performing as a bar band, in addition to packing in sweaty yet charming DIY basement parties. A temporary end to live performance could not stand in the way of the group’s love for playing, as they’ve spent the past year writing, rehearsing, and performing live-streams and drive-ins-including a sweltering summer rooftop concert at the Virgin HotelChicago. You can catch Rookie live across the United States late Summer and early Fall of2021.

Motel Breakfast

(Chicago, IL)
Genre: Indie Rock

Motel Breakfast is a true Midwestern band, with members split between Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison.

After three years of live shows in the Midwest, the band hit the studio in the summer of 2019 to record to tape at Treehouse Records in Chicago. Produced by Andy Goitia (of Milwaukee’s Sleepy Gaucho), the self-titled debut album (released 2/7/2020) combines some of their most polished songwriting yet with the high energy and chemistry of their live show, making for the first studio effort to give a proper snapshot of the group.

Left on Deming, the self-produced follow-up project, is a 6-track EP that was released one song at a time throughout the summer and fall of 2020. With studio goals of tracking live and keeping arrangements simple, the project was pieced together quickly over one summer weekend of recording. The full EP was released everywhere digitally on October 16, 2020.
