ASSIMILATION BIOGRAPHY
Out of the cold winter of 1998, Assimilation emerged on the south side of Chicago. Assimilation is a collaboration of five musicians who are committed to providing you the ultimate Rock experience. We put on an original, alive, energetic performance that spills the lifeblood of Rock and Roll on to the stage and feeds it to the fans. There have been line-up changes throughout the years, but the driving guitar riffs, unique lyrics, thunderous drums, and versatile vocals mixed with an unmistakable groove has always been a staple of the band.
A lot of people ask us who our influences are. Musically, we are influenced by pretty much everything. Start with your favorite hard rock band, mix in some of the classic rock your parents love, add a dash of funk and pure punk rock attitude, then you have Assimilation. Bottom line, we are influenced by life. Our music is an outpouring of what happens in our daily lives. Life is a bitch, and Assimilation is there to help you forget your shit. If you need more than our music to forget your daily hell, come to a show and you won't have to drink alone.
Assimilation takes pride in being professional, on time, and willing to communicate and work hard at every turn. This work ethic is shown in our live shows, which consist of anywhere from an hour to a four and half hour sets that the band routinely performs on time and on point. Rock and Roll is musical theatre, and we're the best actors around!

Influences:Our originals, some of which you can hear RIGHT NOW, are influenced by the different covers we frequently perform. If you want us for six hours, that can be arranged without replaying any songs. Here is a sample of some of the covers you may hear at an Assimilation show:

Knockin on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan
Roadhouse Blues - The Doors
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
Cocaine Blues - Johnny Cash
Break on Through - The Doors
Play That Funky Music, WhiteBoy - Wild Cherry
Rappers Delight - SugarHill Gang
It's So Easy - Guns N Roses
Plush - Stone Temple Pilots
No Excuses - Alice in Chains
La Di Da Di - Snoop
Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks
Would - Alice in Chains
When I Come Around - Green Day
Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam
Santeria - Sublime
Hashpipe - Weezer
What I Got - Sublime
Slither - Velvet Revolver

This is an extremely abbreviated list. We can do covers in any genre you'd like. Want a PG show? No problem, we've got more than enough tame covers and originals. Want drunken debauchery? Well, now you're in our wheelhouse. We will play any show, any where, any time, if you make it worth our while. Like what you hear? Interested in an Assimilation show? Hit us up here and we will work out something.
Sounds Like: The Doors, Velvet Revolver, and George Clinton on a steamship through hell
