Mutts

Mutts is from Chicago, but this hard-working keys-bass-drums trio has treated Madison like a second home during its decade of existence. The band is celebrating 10 years and more than 1,000 shows with a  (mostly Midwestern) tour and a compilation album, Hey, We Are All Mutts — which also includes “Your Love,” a crunchy new blues-rock tune. Time Out magazine once likened Mutts to “Tom Waits fronting a garage band,” and that’s as accurate and as fair of a description as we can offer. With Minneapolis-based Marah in the Mainsail and Wisconsin’s own Christopher Gold & the New Old Things.

press release: Chicago rockers Mutts are celebrating their 10^th anniversary with a show supporting their new release Hey, We Are All Mutts at The Winnebago on June 14, with Marah in the Mainsail, and Christopher Gold & the New Old Things.

“True rock veterans, with a throbbing swagger that is akin to Sebadoh and Mudhoney.” – Glide Magazine

Ten years – and over 1,000 shows - strong, Chicago, IL’s Mutts define perseverance. Hey, We Are All Mutts is more than a collection of favorites from their catalog. It’s a testament to maintaining unfettered creativity in the face of adversity. Over the course of these fifteen selects - and new single “Your Love” - Mike Maimone (keys, vocals), Bob Buckstaff (guitar, bass), and Ian Tsan (drums) remind us that a gritty determination to chase your dreams, damn the odds, is as American as it gets.  

Immerse yourself in this sonic portrait of a decades’ hard work, and you’ll come away with a profound appreciation for this resilient, tenacious band of brothers. Built on a shared love of connecting with others through music, Mutts are doggedly determined to continue their musical evolution.
