Good Luck + Advance Base

9pm - $15 at the door - All ages

GOOD LUCK

Bloomington, IN

https://wearegoodluck.bandcamp.com/

Originally formed in Bloomington, Indiana in the late aughts, Good Luck plays joyful, intricate, unique punk-ish music with a DIY spirit. They always delicately straddled the border lines between interwoven scenes, trying on Midwest emo, jangly singer-songwriter, anthemic rock, and twinkle guitar before settling somewhere in no man’s land with their own sound and a “we’re a punk band” shrug.

After a decade-or-so hiatus, Ginger, Matt, and Mike got together again in 2024. With rejuvenated energy and a concerted “not a reunion band” effort, they’re playing some select dates in support of their soon-to-be-released first album in 14 years. They’ve got big dreams, mister.

ADVANCE BASE

Chicago, IL

https://advancebase.bandcamp.com/

Advance Base is the melancholic soft rock recording project of Chicago, IL singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Using a two-handed arsenal of electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, effect pedals & drum machines, Ashworth builds minimalist, heavy-hearted, & nostalgia-obsessed ballads around his conversational baritone. The warm, electronic sound of Advance Base has been described as "lo-fi," "depressed" & "weirdly uplifting."

MOONTYPE

Chicago, IL

Moontype is songwriter Margaret McCarthy’s dreamworld come to life. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the band features Emerson Hunton on drums, and Joe Suihkonen and Andrew Clinkman on guitar.

Quiet emotions that McCarthy explores with her bass become, with the band, as large and as musically complex as a mood itself: cathartic, angsty, and unmet. Like reading a diary in a crowded room, it puts words to sentiments that are difficult to express: how to be open to the depth of relationships while still holding onto yourself.
