With his hooky sound that’s “too folky for the rockers and too rocky for the folkers,” Phil has played with The Mountain Goats, The Babies, Cave Singers, Holly Golightly, The Dead Milkmen’s Joe Jack Talcum, Franklin Bruno, Wckr Spgt, and Mary Prankster

With a long list of influences, Altgeld can be hard to pin down. Named after a street that connects two of the member’s homes, Altgeld uses the idea of connection throughout their music. They are a band in the fullest extent of the word, and believe that music is best when created with a group of people. A song’s genesis may come from a single person, but the finished product always has a bit of each member in it.

Their first single, “Wrapped In Rags” is set to release on April, 24, 2024.

Moonbird is a Chicago band formed in the spring of 2022 by strangers seeking a creative outlet.

A cigarette at a house party. Moonbird is whatever you want it to be.
