Reggies Chicago

Join us for Stygian Bough playing at Reggies Rock Club. Stygian Bough Doom Metal In our human minds, according to the Law of Contagious Magic as described in The Golden Bough by anthropologist James Frazer, contact between two objects creates an inseparable thread between them. A gift from a dead friend forever holds this magic like a scar reflecting a wound. Similarly, a piece of food that touches the floor is suddenly abject and rotten. Pairing this notion with the Law of Similarity Magic, as described by Frazer, where an object resembling another can share its power, a musical notion can be understood to serve as an unbodied conduit of such magics; an emotional contact between the music and audience wherein such sorcery threads an inseparable seam that, for a time, resemble each other. Aptly named in reference to the aforementioned book, on Stygian Bough Volume II, the collaboration between Bell Witch (Dylan Desmond, Jesse Shreibman) and Aerial Ruin (Erik Moggridge) enlivens its unbodied presence resembling both collaborating projects as a conduit in its own separate entity. In the course of an hour, four musical pieces set themselves apart from the catalogs of both individual bands and branch into new territory all the while threaded to the original encounter.

Bottom Lounge

Welcome to Emo Night Brooklyn, a late-night, DJ-driven dance party blasting the best emo and pop punk jams that raised us, ruined us, and somehow still define us. We’re taking over Bottom Lounge in Chicago on 29 May 2026 for a night of screaming every word, moshing with strangers, and feeling absolutely everything.
This is not a quiet night out. Expect wall-to-wall emo and pop punk anthems, deep cuts, and songs you still know by heart even if you pretend you’ve “moved on.” From the tracks that got you through your worst years to the ones that still hit a little too hard, Emo Night Brooklyn is all about losing your voice, finding your people, and reliving the music that made us who we are. And yeah sometimes special guests and your favorite artists even jump in to join the chaos.
Come ready to scream, mosh, dance, cry in the corner (no judgment), and throw yourself into the pit with all your favorite people. Tell the DJs what you want to hear and we promise we listen better than your ex. It’s loud, it’s emotional, and it’s the kind of night that reminds you it was never just a phase.
So get ready, Chicago. Lace up your boots, warm up your vocal cords, and meet us in the pit at Bottom Lounge on 29 May 2026. Emo Night Brooklyn is calling — and yes, we need every soul.

Candlelight Oak Park: Tribute to Coldplay on Strings 

Join us for Pete &amp; Bas and Delivery Boys playing at Subterranean
Pete &amp; Bas Hailing from South East London, Pete &amp; Bas have been in and out of trouble since Black &amp; White TV and are rumoured to have long-standing ties with both the Richardson and Kray families. The duo have been co-signed by a long list of artists including names such as Jaykae, Mist, D Double E, Dizzee Rascal, Giggs, Headie One and Dave.
Delivery Boys Meet Delivery Boys, Brooklyn’s waviest alternative rap group, founded in 2015 by Max Gertler and Goldwood. The duo—originally actual delivery boys for local delis—formed the collective out of a shared love for hip-hop and the cultural richness of New York City. The group expanded in 2016 with the addition of YGB and LOSTBOYBK, kicking off a new era for Delivery Boys. They caught fire with their breakout single “Pissed Off” featuring Rich the Kid in August 2017, which racked up over 1 million streams across platforms. Over the next few years, they continued to evolve their sound and audience. In 2019, they teamed up with Y2K for the collaborative EP 30 Minutes or Less, and dropped their debut album Tandem in 2020—exploring new sonic territory while staying rooted in the crew’s raw chemistry and storytelling. In the last year, they’ve become full-blown internet sensations. Their viral On The Radar freestyles earned them a wave of new fans and media attention. What truly sets Delivery Boys apart is their bond—the whole crew has been friends for years, and that brotherhood fuels their energy, creativity, and the undeniable camaraderie pulsing through their music. Their momentum is undeniable, cementing their place as one of the most original voices in underground hip-hop. Known for electrifying live shows, fearless genre-blending, and a deep-rooted connection as both artists and lifelong friends, Delivery Boys continue to push boundaries and build a world entirely their own.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/145077/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">eventvesta.com/events/145077/t/tickets</a>
