The Dead Bolts
(Chicago, IL)
Genre: Garage Rock
John, James, Matt (Benny), Tyler, and Eddie met as a band for the first time in a garage on the South Side of Chicago in the Summer of 2018. They didn’t quite have a set name for the band, reliable equipment, or any kind of fan base at the time, but they managed to land a gig at a bar in their neighborhood. They decided to go by “The Dead Bolts” – derived from the name of a band that John and James were in as kids called “The Bolts”. That gig went well enough for them to book another one, so they stuck with the name, and the shows kept rolling. They spent that Summer playing gigs every single weekend, capping it off by recording their first project – an EP of five original songs titled ‘Part Time’ – that was released later that fall after they had all returned to their respective colleges across the Midwest.
A few years later post college and pandemic, the band has put a couple hundred hours of stage and studio time under their belt, establishing their name in the Chicago and Midwestern scene. Upon releasing their debut LP Pretty And Burnt Out – co-produced, mixed, and mastered by engineer Mike Hagler (Engineer behind Wilco’s Summerteeth and Mermaid Avenue) in the Fall of 2021, they set out on their first tour across the United States. Since then, they’ve been back on stage on the road, and recording their next project while they gear up for a Winter tour. Their latest single The Throes is out everywhere now.
Shoobie
(Oshkosh, WI)
Genre: Garage Rock
Emerging from the depths of the valley, a band comprised of Isaac Lamers, Leah David, Nick Matteson, Nick Morrissey, and Parker Sweeney explode on to the scene with their own brand of impassioned sweat inducing rock ‘n’ roll sure to make your bones jump inside your flesh. Enjoy :
The Nile Club
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Indie Rock
Named after an abandoned pyramid-shaped nightclub, THE NILE CLUB is: Marcie Star, Samwise Baker, Sam Walters and Jack Lusk. Formed in 2017, the group has always had a staunch love for the DIY arts. After meeting up in a few basements in Wisconsin, they eventually combined their songwriting and self recorded their first LP “Motions”, which then came out in 2019. THE NILE CLUB then quickly found their place in the emerging Milwaukee music scene in 2020, sparking connections and friendships quickly with other artists. After quarantine, the group had amassed enough material to release their second LP, “Wake Up With A Sense Of Pride” which was released in January 2023. They celebrated this release with a small run of sold out dates, accompanied by their friends in Shoobie. The album features anything from lovesick pop anthems like Forever Is A Word, to the self deprecative calamity of Burnt Young Man, to the soul crushing story of Open Arms, which is wrapped in a spaced out jazzy groove. Many shows and some new music on the way, keep your eyes peeled!!!!!
Much love -The Nile Club
