Join us for a double release party as Bardware drops their latest album and BAUGS shows off their new single. Emerging from Chicago's underground rock scene like a drugged-up CEO from under their desk, Bardware has things to do and a LOT to say. Blending elements of Funk, Prog-Rock, Synth, and Jazz, Bardware's patent-pending sound-slurry features irritable reflections on what's wrong, without offering any ideas on how to fix it. Founded in the basements and backyards of Berwyn, IL during the latter half of COVID, Cuyler Marshall (Bass), Nate Brown (Guitar) and Reed McGee (Sax/Synth/Vocals) jammed their way into their first studio album. Eventually cajoling Ike Brown (Drums) into joining, Bardware is now rolling out their second studio album "Make More Money" coming August, 2026." BAUGS is a Chicago-based synth pop band crafting a distinct brand of toe-tapping dark pop through lush synthesizers, spacey vocals, and the more-than-occasional harp. Drawing from indie rock, synth pop, power pop, and new wave, BAUGS specializes in field reports from the border between the everyday and whatever lies where the veil is the thinnest.
