About Me

Chicago natives Turn of the Century have been immersed in the local music scene since 2000, providing energetic shows filled with rock-oriented pop songs over addictive dance beats. Their sound is self-described as "Psychedelic Dance-Rock", drawing from their numerous influences including early 80s' new wave, late 70s' punk, and the psychedelic movement of the late 60s'.
