What happens when several of the finest musicians in Chicago are "Pandemic Bored"? They become a kick-ass David Bowie tribute band. SuperCreeps formed in the COVID Summer of 2020, when venues were closed and musicians had lots of time on their hands. Skid Marks, Robin Crawford, Bill Hartwig, Taylor Morse and Rich Poston were all quite aware that idle hands can become the devil's playthings. With the devil on the doorstep, this cadre of talented misfits channeled all their creative energy into a formidable Bowie tribute. SuperCreeps... Coming soon to a venue near you! (tribute to David Bowie)

Real Pretenders are four Chicago music scene veterans with a passion for the hard driving rhythms, catchy melodic hooks, soul-tortured lyrics, and back alley sex appeal that characterize the music of the Pretenders. They aren’t a costume act and they don’t play the original members of the band as characters. Instead, these established players with audiences of their own have come together to thread the musical needle between faithfully rendering the Pretender’s sound and joyfully harnessing these timeless and lustful pop rock gems as a means to expressing their own musical identity. Not only do they take on both the band’s classics and deep cuts, they also offer a new take on songs covered by the Pretenders as well as those that perhaps might have been. Real Pretenders aren’t simply a tribute to the music of the Pretenders, they are a tribute to their essential spirit. Do not miss.
