Simmering is a Chicago based rock band that has earned their reputation for high-energy live shows. Although the group originated as a popular college band playing covers and entertaining frats and bars at University of Illinois, Simmering has solidified over the years into an original songwriting force with a strong emphasis on musicianship as well as entertainment value. It's dedicated and loyal fan base supports it's many electrifying shows and successful ventures. The band's sound has been compared to some, but carries a certain midwestern ethic that sticks it's head above the crowd.

myspace.com/celebrationcelebration myspace.com/aleksandthedrummer Celebration (Baltimore) are returning to Chicago with a new release, again produced by Tv on the Radio member Dave Sitek. (yeah yeah yeah's, liars...) The band is made up of a female vocalist with an androgynous tone and great range, a talented multi-tasking multi-instrumentalist, and a drummer. Their live shows are highly recommended. They are touring with Kill me Tomorrow from San Diego. Aleks and the Drummer open. They are a local Chicago duo that has been getting alot of attention for their singular sound. Beautiful melodies (played on a vintage farfisa organ) that hint of old Eastern European influence race with thunderous drums and dance beats. With the final layer of Aleks' soaring vocals, the combined live sound is surprisingly intense for the minimal setup. buy tickets
