ON AND ON at Rumba Cafe on April 11
A little deception ... putting the girl in the center of the band photo might lead one to believe that the girl is the lead singer. Not so in the case of this dreamy pop band from Chicago/Minneapolis, where Nate Eiesland handles vocals.
Heavy on the synths, On and On's debut has many pleasant slowburners, light with electronic flourishes. The band hasn't (to my knowledge) made it onto CD 102.5's radar yet but songs like "Ghosts", "American Dreams" and "War is Gone" could easily fit comfortably alongside the stuff the alt-rock station regularly spins.

What you're not going to hear are big, catchy choruses; On and On is more about creating a late night ambience than pop tunes readymade for Target or iPhone commercials.
On and On's got an April 11 date with Savior Adore at Rumba Cafe - it's the late show that night with music kicking off around 10pm. $7 will get you into this Benco Presents show.
