Illinois

IllinoisIllinois lives in Pennsylvania - that is, the band does. The four-piece doesn't seem to mind the geographical confusion their name causes, but that's mainly because they're having too much fun to be too concerned. Bucks County's finest indie-rockers exude a good time wherever they go, genuinely enjoying the ride their music has taken them on since their 2007 release, What the Hell Do I Know?, earned them national airplay and spots at major festivals like Lollapalooza and SxSW. Since, the band has released a single and the six-chapter series The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe, which follows lead singer Chris Archibald's disillusioned alter ego through life - both with music and accompanying short films.
