About Me

Chicago powerpop "icon" VEE SONNETS
has teamed up with comedy seductress ELLIE MAYBE on bass
and the groovy guru himself, ERIC COLIN on drums.
With the most solid, charming, and attractive lineup in local rock history,
The Sonnets are currently set to record a new album of songs
that will touch you in all the places mommy wouldn't.
Jangly, hook-heavy tunes that creep into your heart & stick in your head.
