Widemouth Back when Widemouth was just Jamie and Mak, with just two voices and an acoustic guitar, their songs could reasonably have been described as "folk" – everything was soft and pretty. But when Lily (drums) and Levi (bass) came along, the songs started to bang a little harder. Even more once they got a Fender Deluxe. They all love Big Thief and MJ Lenderman, and they hope it shows.   They've been playing around Chicago since their first show in February, and recently went on their first tour (Widetour), playing shows in NYC, Boston, St. Louis, and more. Their debut EP, Well, is coming out on November 22, and they are proud to be playing their release show at SPACE, in their hometown of Evanston. The record was produced and engineered by their dear friend Sam Genualdi, and recorded in his apartment in Andersonville. They've come a long way since February, but they're just getting started.    Midwest Blender Company Blend. Stir. Puree. Chop. Liquefy. Midwest Blender Company is a Chicago-based six-piece indie rock band that touches everything from surf rock and dance to jam, psyche and grunge. With fan-favorite originals and covers here and there, you’ll always leave an MBC show wanting more (or wanting a smoothie).    The blender boys have a strong Chicago following, selling out venues like Schubas, Beat Kitchen, and the late Golden Dagger. You can stream MBC’s singles wherever you get your music.   MBC is Luke Cunningham (vocals), Patrick Lindh (keys/vocals), Fillip Gutman (drums), Gaby Murashev (bass/looks), Sammy Cowhey (guitar), and Austin Lenzi (lead guitar). Sleeper's Bell There is some strange, unnameable beauty swimming beneath the surface in the music of Sleeper’s Bell, the Chicago-based indie folk project of singer-songwriter Blaine Teppema and guitarist Evan Green.
