About the event

We've got yet another late May gig to keep you cruising to the end of spring! Chicago's own BURSTING (featuring members of Thou) are set to pay us a visit, peddling heavy & angular rock tunes indebted to classic math rock & post-hardcore. Accompanying them are local legends LIFE IN VACUUM—graciously stopping by for an increasingly rare appearance in our fair city—and Montréal's finest noise rockers in PNOOM. Riffs aren't dead and these bands prove it!


Bear witness to real-deal rock music at Monarch Tavern on Saturday, May 23rd! 7:30 PM doors, 19+, $20 advance, $25 at the door.
