The Moon Machine is an original four-piece band from Chicago blending melodic hard rock with folk.

The Bishop’s Daredevil Stunt Club (BDSC) — Chicago’s premier crew of roughed-up power pop daredevils — defies sonic gravity with fearless hooks, revved-up riffs, and high-wire energy that leaves a crowd buzzing.  They’ve nailed landings on the airwaves of WGN radio/TV, WXRT’s Local Anesthetic (where “Hold You Up” soared as Big Beat Artist of the Week), Q101’s Demo 312, WNUR’s Powerpop Shoppe, and CHIRP Radio. Live, they’ve pulled off death-defying sets at Metro, Lincoln Hall, House of Blues, Bottom Lounge, Reggie’s, and Cubby Bear, while having taken their daredevilry global to New York, Liverpool, and London. Releases include the full-throttle End Over End (2019), Please Stand By(2022), and the adrenaline-pumping Vanishing Point EP (2023). Led by indomitable frontman William Giricz (vocals, guitar, multi-instrumental wizardry), the lineup — locked-in drummer Dave Boenzi, high-octane rhythm guitarist Darin Greg, and multi-talented bass virtuoso Mark Watson — turns every gig into a rad, sweat-soaked thrill ride. Buckle up: BDSC is gearing up for their boldest stunt yet — a brand-new LP launching late May 2026, packed with more signature punch, hooks that stick like an Evel Knievel landing, and pure, unfiltered sonic adrenaline. No net required!

Tennis Court Oath is: A jaunty ride on a just-tamed stallion A glass of bubbly under a lunar eclipse A cabaret with a cup of strong tea This trio of seasoned musicians explore searing pop songs with French sensibilities, weaving together fervent rock, smokey cabaret, and quasi-folk styles to bring you a refreshing repast of fun entertainment. The band was created initially by longtime musical partners Babette Novak and Mike Collins, as Femme de Champagne. The Femmes released a full-length CD and two singles but needed an excellent bass player to round out the sound permanently. Charlie Short was added to the mix and the band was reborn as Tennis Court Oath. Members Mike Collins - drums, hand percussion, backing vocals Charlie Short - bass, backing vocals Babette Novak - guitar, keyboards, vocals, hand percussion Members also play in/have played in: Third Sunday, The Hurtin’ Kind, Babette’s Feast, Tiberius Strange, Daddy Burger Swag, Femme de Champagne, Phil Angotti and friends, Psycho Ex-Lover, The City Thrills, many others. An EP was released in 2023. A full-length album is expected in Autumn of 2024.
