Almost There But Not Really

Pictures from the 3/14 Anti-Ice Benefit at Cobra Lounge

Ya'll really came through and helped raise over $1600 for the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund🔥🔥🔥 it makes us happy that the chi punk/DIY scene is really ready to rally for our Latino communities 🙏🏽 that night and crowd was truly electric 🙌🏽🙌🏽

shook the ground with the gnarliest riffs that as a guitarist in an indie band, I really don't hear enough of
embodied a post-punk sound that was full-on kentic, frantic, angular, off kilter and explosive
absolutely ripped with just drums, vocals and bass. They're all firing on all cylinders at every moment with captivating rhythmic interplay -- with a skillful bassist alternating between fuzzy lead lines and driving the song, and a front person with killer stage presence
closed out the night delivering high energy punk athens with memorable hooks and riffs back to back

Shoutout to Lost Legion and for organizing 🙏🏽

🌌YA'LL REALLY SOLD OUT FREE MONDAY🌌

Monday was an amazing night with an unreal line-up, audiance, and venue. We never imagined we'd be headlining a sold out show at the . But, it was all possible thanks to , .negra and everyone that came thru!

Shoutout to Vatos Tristes! Everything you've heard is true. They masterfully commanded the stage, taking advantage of every single opportunity to take the room to 11 and make every single drop and moment hit that much harder. This is all done without comprising the musicality and ambition of the music - marrying heavier 90's alt rock compositions with dynamic change ups and instrumental passages (horns included) verging on post-rock, with the gnarliest of breakdowns included. Being in the audience was an experience, and they deserve the biggest stage you can give them.

Fantasma Negra effortlessly carved a unique sound, wholley emboding a dark and sensual aesthetic, and putting all of us in their trance. Their songs weave 80's synth lines, driving drum samples and a lead guitar lines that teases us with whispers of metal, but stays within the the band's signature sound. The music can exist in both a nightclub and rock venue. And it's all tied together by their virtuosic lead singer and front woman, confidently commanding the stage, and consistently delivering every well written vocal hook. It was hard not to be impressed.

Monday was a much needed celebration of Latino/e alt culture and language with everything our communities are going through. It was also just a lot of fu***ng fun 😭🔥🔥🙏🏽
