Victoryland / Drook

Victoryland, the Brooklyn-based project of Julian McCamman and Dan Howard, brings their experimental pop-rock to Empty Bottle in Chicago. Their album *My Heart Is A Room With No Cameras In It* blends heavy themes like love and disconnection with catchy hooks, aiming to turn life's struggles into danceable moments. Sharing the bill is Drook, making for an evening of genre-defying live music.

The intimate venue on Western Avenue sets the stage for a night where pop's cleansing power meets raw emotion. Attendees can expect a performance that balances despondent lyrics with joyful melodies, creating a space for both reflection and release. It's a chance to experience music that packages hard realities into fun, hook-driven songs.
