birthday show for Paul, and the first show for Dead Birds. i'd spent the previous 6 months watching live videos of Naomi 10 Million at work, and they exceeded my expectations somehow. maybe the best band in Chicago right now, maybe the single best set of music i saw in 2025, no amount of effusive praise can get across how much i like them. molly_XLR and Alltheflowers also killed it but they're easily accessible to me.
performers, in order:
