Stage Buzz: Kraftwerk, Deftones, Baths, Refused
Refused are fucking dead. This time, they mean it. After 34 years of raging and screaming, the seminal punk band is calling it quits. But of course, they need to go out with a band. Before you mourn the loss of Refused, join them for one last hurrah at the Salt Shed with Quicksand this Tuesday, March 25th, at 7:30 PM. Make sure to get tickets here.
Electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk are recognized for their revolutionary soundscapes, which often blurred the line between man and machine. Their innovative use of synths and computerized rhythms in their music continues to influence the genre they created. They’re the godfathers of synth rock going back 50 years – so that’s saying something. Watch these German legends in action when they bring their multimedia show to the Auditorium Theatre on Saturday, March 29th at 7 PM. Tickets are available here.
After spending last year playing several festivals, including Lollapalooza, Deftones are heading out on their first headline tour since 2022. Bringing The Mars Volta and Fleshwater with them, the band will run through some of their biggest hits, fan favorites, and new cuts from their latest album, Ohms. It all goes down at United Center on Monday, March 31st, at 7:30 PM. You can still get tickets here.
Baths, aka Will Wiesenfeld, made a triumphant return last month with Gut, his first studio album since 2017’s Romaplasm. Referred to as “stomach music,” it’s a deeply personal record highlighting the soaring highs and rock-bottom lows of lust. Hear new songs along with old favorites during his Sleeping Village show on Monday, March 31st, at 9 PM. Find tickets here.
