Event Details
FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR Presents: FREE SHOW! Click Book Now to RSVP for guaranteed entry.The Spectral Distortions is a Chicago-based punk band that consists (mostly) of people who do physics research for their day jobs. Their sound is frenetic, loud, and abrasive, and draws from influences which include the Dead Boys, the Damned, and the Minutemen. Their songs are often about science or science culture, and can be both playful and introspective, while having the surprising ability to leave one feeling angry about the universe that we happen to find ourselves living in. They are generally regarded as our universes premiere physics punk band, and are both excited and honored to be playing at Fitzgeralds.Well be sharing the bill with Arkoffs, from Madison, WI. Heres a blurb that they provided to me:The Arkoffs play carport rock: its kinda leaning against the house in a suspicious way and you know it will fall over someday, but for now its keeping your 78 Duster and the outdoor beer fridge out of the elements...for the most part. They have been entertaining audiences in some form around the Madison area for nearly a quarter century with questionable covers and objectionable originals. There are two guitars, a bass, drums, and sometimes a sax when the sax player is not riding the rails as the Midwests leading skahobo. Sometimes there is trouble.Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS***21+, Minors admitted with guardian!
