When were you formed?
We were formed in October 2012 in the Phi Mu Alpha basement, starting out as a space-rock project.
Members and what they play?
Evan Bakker -- singer/guitarist
Jake Besen -- drums
Stuart Babcock -- bass
How would you describe your sound?
Cohesive pop songs with a lingering element of space-rock and large reverberated guitar sounds.
Story behind the name?
We were originally obsessed with the idea of being a "space-rock" band, so we wanted a name to reflect a space theme.
Favorite show played? When/where/why?
Our unanimous choice for favorite show is Dance Marathon 2013. We played in front of over 1,000 Northwestern students and completely re-energized them after 20+ hours of dancing.
Complete the statement: “I want to play on Dillo Day because…”
"I want to play on Dillo Day because many students on campus would like to see us again after Dance Marathon, and we would love to be a part of the best day of the year, rocking out on the lakefill!"
