King Sans, Pudding, Braince
Gothic noisepunk from the shadows of Chicago:Always putting on a show to remember, as King Sans, Iz and Jake deliver chaotic energy with melancholic lulls, to create a night as dynamic as each day itself. Secret agents by day, whistleblowers by night. Enter the viscous and demented world of Pudding. They got synths, slap bass, a virtual horn section… and they’re wearing sunglasses. When they’re not mingling with extraterrestrial hippies, dodging teleporting mall cops, or honking horns on the information superhighway, Pudding is on the move. And they have the documents to prove it Braince- Scuzzy, fuzzy funtime boyz. We build stripped-down, bass-driven rippers special-made for going fast when you’ve been thinking too hard.
