About Me

"Rock with girth and more hooks than a meat packing plant!".....Finneus has a long tradition amongst peers and fans of always turning out energetic and musically engaging performances. The band's unique rotation of groove oriented original material and 'Finneusized' treatment of cover material has blessed them with a strong local and regional following. With two independently released full-lengths, 'Translucent' ('02) and 'Superstar and the Ballerina' ('06), supported by numerous road trips in the upper Midwest, college/specialty airplay, worldwide digital distribution and an award winning website, Finneus successfully continues to develop and embrace the DIY spirit as they entertain and expand their audience. Humbly describing themselves as the least connected band in Chicago, the Illinois Entertainer, Chicagoland's most widely read music publication put it another way: "Finneus rules the undiscovered!"
