Cheer-Accident + Forced Fun + Moms

SPECIAL EARLY SHOW – 6 PM!

CHEER-ACCIDENT is a wonderfully idiosyncratic Chicago legend of a band, helmed since 1981 by drummer/multi-instrumentalist Thymme Jones. Their catalogue is vast but can mostly be described as “experimental rock”: post-punk, prog, noise, chamber music, math rock, and many other flavors appear.
Jones is the only constant member of the band–and the membership is something of a who’s who of Chicago left-field rock music: members of US Maple, Smog, Tar, Brice-Glase, and the Flying Luttenbachers have all been in C-A at one point or another. Their current lineup is a septet, “comprising of various members who have come and gone throughout the past two decades”. Their latest record brings the usual dramatic gestures, no-wave gnarl, dynamics, oddball sensibilities, and a deceptively not-quite-straight Cheap Trick cover; Cheer-Accident is an arty band that loves to have fun.

Forced Fun is an NC trio that purveys satirical self help rock music for a post capitalist/imperialist future of fun.

MOMS is not on the socials, but they will infect your brain thanks to the atom-smashing powers of Ash Bowie, Charles Chace, Boogie Reverie and Lee Waters.

Doors 5 pm, show at 6 pm. $10+ cash/Venmo at the door (no one turned away). BYO or sample what’s on hand.
