American Football with Afternoon Bike Ride in Chicago

American Football, the pioneering midwest emo band that defined a genre with their 1999 self-titled debut, brings their atmospheric sound to Chicago with support from Afternoon Bike Ride. Known for their intricate guitar work and Mike Kinsella's introspective lyrics, the band has maintained a devoted following even after their initial breakup and subsequent reunion.

Attendees can expect a set blending material from their early work through their latest eponymous album, all performed in the emotional, math-rock style that made the band legendary. Afternoon Bike Ride opens the night with their own melodic indie rock.
