Bury Me At Makeout Creek

BIOGRAPHY:



Chicago is called "The Windy City" not because of harsh breezes cascading off of Lake Michigan, but because of its raunchy politics. The word "Chicago" translated literally means, "stinking onion" - an endearing term don't you think? Names can be decieving, and in this light, Chicago natives BURY ME AT MAKEOUT CREEK are no different. While their name originates from a satirical "Simpsons" reference and alludes to commonality (especially being from the same city as Simpson-named stars Fall Out Boy), their music sets them miles apart. Taking influence from a range of artists from Say Anything to Every Time I Die, the band has worked long and hard to develop a sound that is catchy but stands uncomparable in a now crowded Chicago indie scene. The baby of this process is the band's debut EP, entitled "From Far Away Across The World." The seven-song EP (released in October 2006) tells a tale of its own. Songs like "Sleeping Quarters" and "The Sky, The Sea, The Dream" speak of ambition, hopes, and dreams in a way that makes you want to pack a bandana on a stick and head out into the world. In contrast, the techy "I Beat The Rubix Cube" expels sarcasm and a bit of anger at big-city living and business. Since the EP's release, BMAMC (bee-mam-ka, as their loyalest fans call them) have worked tirelessly on solidifying a Midwest presence. Even the loss of former lead vocalist Simon Bean couldn't slow down the BMAMC brigade as they have toured the Midwest and East Coast - all along the way playing with national artists like Sherwood, Waking Ashland, 1997, The Color Fred, and many more. With an enthralling live show, BURY ME AT MAKEOUT CREEK is out to prove that music has no boundaries.
