Horrible, Anything is Everything, King Sans
Formed in Chicago, Horrible’s current lineup began playing together in 2017. With a fresh batch of their signature brand of surfy goth punk songs for 2024, Horrible is considering recording a second album…but that would just be Horrible if that happened, wouldn’t it?Anything is Everything — self-proclaimed “Chicago’s Wurst Punk Band” — is a four piece outfit formed in 2018 with one plan: rule the world. Chicago’s altrock/noisepunk duo King Sans set out with each performance to combine visceral raw energy with melancholic lulls to deliver a night you won’t soon forget.
Perfect Mash: A Dating Show
Perfect Mash is a monthly inclusive dating show from Hot Potato Hearts! Come early to the show to mingle, flirt, and most importantly fill out compatibility quizzes for each featured dater they are interested in. The show itself will be a combination of games, interviews, and storytelling exploring what our featured daters need and want out of their Perfect Mash. While the show is going on the Hot Potato Hearts team will be combing the quizzes filled out earlier to determine the three most compatible attendees for each featured dater. The daters will choose their Perfect Mash from their top three after chatting with them all on stage. The three Perfect Mashes will then blindly pick a date activity. Trust me you won’t be disappointed with these dates; friends of Hot Potato Hearts, Lincoln Hall, Uncommon Ground, Avondale Bowl, Central Park Bar, and Bernice’s Tavern to name a few, have graciously sponsored the winning dates.
Joey Molinaro, Dusty Turrets, TRASHDOTCOM, Electric-Disconnected Galaxxu Confluenze
Joey Molinaro of Pittsburgh returns to Chicago with his solo black metal/ grind violin style in support of two original rock and roll fiction novels. Dusty Turrets hails from the depths of Chicago’s DIY scenes. They have cultivated their own original sound and songs stemming from a mutual interest in metal, poetry and improvisation. Emboldened and with much versatility, Dusty Turrets is tapped into their wild side, charged with grit and ferocity. Their music communicates moments of angst, desire, feminine rage, social withdrawal, self-preservation, and reflections of nature. TRASHDOTCOM is wacky trashy noise rock from Chicago! Electric-Disconnected Galaxxu Confluenze is a variable-lineup improvisation machine.
