Lever:

Hailing from the Chicago area, Lever fuses alternative rock, grunge, and pop sensibilities into a sound they sometimes call “bipolar grunge pop.” They’ve appeared on stages like Metro, House of Blues, Vans Warped Tour in Chicago, and even Whisky a Go Go in L.A. Their catalog includes full-length albums like Hover Bored (2015) and Douse (2019), as well as EPs like Ms. Lead.  Recognized locally, they’ve earned nods like “Best Rock Band” in the Chicago Reader poll and “Best Rock Entertainer” at the Chicago Music Awards.  On this bill, expect them to anchor things with driving rhythms, soaring choruses, and that tension between grit and melody.

https://www.facebook.com/LeverBand

Sloth :

Sloth brings a darker, more atmospheric edge to the lineup. With heavy riffs, moody textures, and a sense of controlled aggression, they’ll push the energy into cavernous territory, giving the audience moments to both move and reflect. They occupy the space between crushing heaviness and haunting ambiance, setting the perfect contrast and depth in a multi-band bill.

Siin:

  expect experimental soundscapes, vocal layering, and shifting dynamics that keep you on your toes. Their music leans into the emotive side of alt/indie, combining brooding passages with bursts of intensity. They’re the kind of band whose atmospherics make you lean in — and whose climaxes make you jump out of your seat.

https://www.facebook.com/SIINROCKS

Now In Dark :

 Their approach leans toward the heavier end of the spectrum, with aggressive riffing, powerful rhythms, and bold vocal delivery. They’re here to drive the momentum home — tight, intense, and unrelenting. Expect a finale that leaves ears ringing and adrenaline high.

Tickets for Hi Infidelity | TicketWeb - Nellie's Gastropub & ConcertHub in Palatine, US

 Exuding an electrifying energy, Hi Infidelity bursts onto the scene, a cover band hailing from the vibrant heart of Chicago suburbs. Their repertoire resonates with audiences of all stripes, though they are renowned for their masterful renditions of 80s rock anthems. Think Journey, REO, Bon Jovi, and Boston - these are but a few of the icons whose music Hi Infidelity brings roaring back to life.

​

Celebrated as the Best Cover Band repeatedly in local fan polls, Hi Infidelity's reputation precedes them. And they're more than just a band. They're a full-scale, pulse-pounding concert experience that transports you from the first electrifying chord to the final crescendo.

​

With a setlist as expansive as the horizon, they pay homage to the revered classics and embrace the refreshing spirit of today's chart-toppers. Each performance is a love letter to the original, meticulously crafted to match every note, every lyric, and every beat.

​

However, Hi Infidelity's unparalleled vocal prowess is the real cherry on top of this melodious sundae. If harmonious melodies that stir the soul are your siren's song, their pitch-perfect harmonies will enchant you. If the timeless anthems of the 80s stir your heart and appreciate a dash of contemporary tune magic, you owe it to yourself to lose yourself in a Hi Infidelity show. They've got it covered and ready to rock your world!
