Palace have been making music together for over a decade. What started out as carefree jam sessions between Leo Wyndham, Rupert Turner and Matt Hodges in an airless studio in North London has burgeoned into a project that has amassed a global audience more akin to a community than a fanbase. In early 2025, Palace took a career leap that harkens back to their DIY origin. They released the Greyhound EP on their own label, Palace Presents - a collective they'd started in 2016 as a monthly night at The George Tavern in East London, which had quietly grown into something more intentional. A positive and protected space as Leo described it, away from the usual constraints of the music industry.

Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+WINGTIPS are a Midwest-based darkwave/electropop duo consisting of VincentSegretario and Hannah Avalon. The bands sonics are best described as anandrogynous sound of transition. Interpolating darkly shimmering layers ofangular guitar and pulsating darkwave beats, WINGTIPS sharpen their anthemicrush with an increasing penchant for melody and an atmosphere equallyinformed by post-punk as sweeping electronica.Their debut full-length, EXPOSURE THERAPY released in 2019, is acontextualization of new romantic for post-millennial end times, and a refreshingmix of synthpop and darkwave with hooks so compelling they are cinematic inscope. In September 2021, WINGTIPS released their sophomore LP, CUTTINGROOM FLOOR. The record is a momentous shift from a previous stylisticallydarkwave approach into a realm of maximalist dark pop, and even techno bodymusic, while also maintaining many of the sonic textures from whence the bandcame.In 2024, WINGTIPS released their third full-length record, ON TRIAL. Featuringcollaborations with the likes of TIM CAPPELLO (The Lost Boys, Tina TurnerBand), and the cutting edge New York-based RONNIE STONE, the album is yetanother shift for the band into an even more evolved musical identity. Tonally,the dichotomy between tracks marks the furthered maturity of WINGTIPSapproach to their unique blend of dark dance music, and texturally lush dreampop. The album also marks the first release where the entirety of recording,mixing, and post-production was completed by the band themselves,maintaining a core ethos that DIY is key to precisely communicating artisticlanguage.In 2026, WINGTIPS welcomed drummer KASEY LEE ROGERS to their livelineup, marking the first time in over a decade the band has presented itself in athree-piece configuration.

Everything I Ever Saw finds the Menzingers entering a new era in what?s already been a storied career. The Philadelphia punk legends? eighth album chronicles moments of significant change?the personal, the political, and the universal?while returning to the core creative principles that first put them on the map with listeners the world over. Twenty years in, the Menzingers have discovered that the wisdom gained with time?s passing is even stronger than the emotional armor they once wore in their youth, and Everything I Ever Saw captures the quartet embracing the here and now while strengthening the bonds that have held them together.

Thursday, November 19 Protomartyr * J.R.C.G. $30 Adv. / $35 Day of / 18+ / Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm Since their 2012 debut No Passion All Technique , the Detroit post-punk band Protomartyr have mastered the art of evoking place: the grinding Midwest humility of their hometown, as well as the x-rayed elucidation of America that comes with their vantage. Protomartyr—vocalist Joe Casey, guitarist Greg Ahee, drummer Alex Leonard, and bassist Scott Davidson—have become synonymous with caustic, impressionistic assemblages of politics and poetry, the literal and oblique.

Friday, November 20 ADULT. & A Place To Bury Strangers * DANA $25 Adv. / $30 Day of / 18+ / Doors: 8pm / Show: 9pm ADULT . is not cooperating. For over 25 years, the dystopian Detroit synth-punk institution founded by Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller has embodied steadfast frustration, distrust, and apprehension. One might expect the edges to soften with time, but ADULT. is not interested in the comforts of legacy. The duo’s music has never sounded as visceral, urgent, and downright angry as it does on the culminating, uncompromising Kissing Luck Goodbye, their scorched-earth 10th LP and fourth with Dias Records. Built with upgraded gear and a whole new library of sounds, the material is crushingly dynamic, louder yet clearer, with Kuperus’ commanding delivery given greater prominence in the mix, outlining an arsenal of vivid, caustic calls, chants, and musings. Fans around the world know Oliver Ackermann always brings surprises. For nearly two decades, the singer and guitarist of New York City’s A Place To Bury Strangers has fused post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and avant-garde experimentation into music that feels volatile and alive. As the founder of Death By Audio, he’s extended that same spirit through his signal-scrambling effects, empowering artists everywhere to push sound past its limits. Onstage, A Place To Bury Strangers delivers a shamanistic experience—immersive, feral, and electrifying—where real-time experiments and sudden breakthroughs collide.

Doors: 9PM / Show: 10PM / 21+ Ten years on, Omnis Deluxe is a bit of a paradox; Its an island of a record with a fully formed untethered-to-any-scene unique quality but I hear its influence everywhere in the art punk underground. There are countless bands that have mined inspiration from the LPs cerebral pop cool, single string riffs, syncopated hooks, and crispy mid-fi production style. Perhaps in 2016 when Omni cheekily named the album Deluxe, they knew they had a classic on their hands. The band was poking fun of the streaming era marketing tactic where artists re-enter the algorithm via a deluxe expanded version of an album right after the original is released but ironically, ten years later Omnis debut is a genuine classic and is being re-released with a bonus disc of B-sides, outtakes, and demos. Omni began as a way for Philip Frobos (bass + vocals) and Frankie Broyles (guitars + drums + keys) to practice creative spontaneity in contrast to the slower meticulous methods their then other bands employed. One fateful night in 2013, the then-roommates devised an Eno-inspired creative game: Would it be possible to write an entire song (arrangement + lyrics, etc.) all in one three hour night session? Whereas most bands begin sculpting a riff or progression brought in by one member, Omni revelled at the chance to begin each songwriting session with a true tabula rosa with no goal in mind except trusting the process. These sessions often began with a melodic bass line that was then quickly complemented by syncopated pointillist guitar (Frankie almost never voices full chords on guitar in Omni). Philip would then retreat to a quiet area to write lyrics as quickly as possible while Frankie worked on writing and recording the drum parts. Seeking the definitive by chance, any accidents that happened in the takes became baked into the songs arrangements; An extra measure here or resting a beat too long there forced the band to come up with creative musical solutions.

Thursday, December 3 Mareux $25 Adv. / $30 Day of / 18+ / Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm Mareux is the decade long electronic solo project from LA based musician and producer Aryan Ashtiani that has sparked an international cult following. His often romantic brand of darkwave, and songs like “The Perfect Girl,” have signaled a cultural paradigm shift across the online world that has united people across diverse subcultures. In describing Mareux’s sound, reviewer Fabrizio Lusso puts it best, “Mareux‘s moody and strongly emotional electronic laden lo-fi approach straddles the line between synth-pop, coldwave and post-punk in a stunning and infectious blend of thick glacial beats, lustrous synth stabs, sparse droning elements, vigorous bleak bass pulsations and a superb passionate voice, flavored by a mournful shadowy-goth feel, a seductive 80s flair, and sometimes subtle groovy r&b inflection.”

Born in the belly of Barstool Sports' rat-infested second headquarters, Pup Punk is playing your favorite pop punk party playlist live. We're coming to Chicago. Tell your friends. We'll tell your mom.

The Uptones are one of the most venerable post-collegiate/adult a cappella groups in Chicago; we were founded as Uptown Sound in 2009 — before The Sing-Off, before Pitch Perfect, just as a cappella was exploding off of college campuses nationwide. A group of young professionals, with a mixture of singing experience (from college a cappella groups, to musical theatre, to choirs, to nothing at all), came together and decided to set out on an adventure in the world of contemporary pop a cappella. We've gone from performing for 20-odd family and friends in a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop to regular audiences of over 120 at our biannual concerts, and from a repertoire of self-arranged music by none other than our talented members. In our more than a decade of singing together, over 70 people have joined us for at least a little while (anywhere from 12–16 at any one time). We sing because we enjoy performing, because we need a creative outlet… and we stay, because it's fun. The makeup of the group continues to change, but the personality remains the same: music, friendship, and a little bit of humor. We hope you'll love listening to us as much as we love performing for you.
