Chicago Salt Shed 4/3/26 (Patreon)

They say the grass is greener on the other side and lemme tell ya…greenrooms are often lifeless and sometimes gross. The greenroom at the Salt Shed in Chicago though??? Just look at those coasters!!! And the custom latte art!? The band and crew catering?! Boy howdy those braised short ribs went down my belly faster than a 200 bpm amen break ;) There was also a juicer on staff. A literal person that would make any custom juice with fresh fruit/veggies. WTF. 

Did we even play???? Soundcheck was smooth because the venue crew (union) loaded our gear and set up half our equipment in a matter of minutes. Before doors the venue showed the end of the ARG movie + Dread Architect video to a small audience with Q & A by our friend Max Allison (Muqs+Hausu Mountain). It was great to hang with fans and especially great to see people's faces at the end of the Dread Architect video. 

The show started off with a breakbeat heavy, hardcore rave set by Casper McFadden (Chicago local). We first met in 2017 playing a wild house show, so it was extra special to play a huge venue like this with them.

Next was Sextile who had been on the road with us for a week at this point. Their sets are HARD and GROOVEY and was so dope to travel with them. 

Despite the pressure to deliver on a big show like this, the band and crew killed it and was one of the craziest shows on the whole run. I mean c’mon look at those coasters!!!!!
