The Dead Bolts at the Vivarium

All cut from the same kind of cloth that gets used and thrown back into a drawer over and over again, the original members of The Dead Bolts ​found each other in 2018. In a manner some would regard as premature, having only practiced twice, the band found themselves booked solid ​in watering holes and Irish pubs around their native south side Chicago neighborhoods. It was tucked into the corners of these establishments ​playing extremely loud and not very well for 4+ hours a night, where the band would cut their teeth among swells of underaged college kids, ​just like them, that had flooded in to drink and scream the lyrics of the same set of songs every weekend.
