Members: Sean Guinan, Maggie O'Keefe, Kristin Srail, Geoff Luk, Beth Earl, Jay Michelson, Cassandra Lynn, Dana Shin

Sounds Like: An army of toy robots, summers of high school, an old Helen Kane record, your grandparents sitting on the front porch swing, a train whistle echoing across a small town.

Bio: For more than a hundred years, bedtime stories have warned children of the wandering pack of gypsy clowns who travel from town to town, stealing away naughty youngsters and raising them as their own, schooling them in the arts of musical vaudeville and playing for ragamuffins and royalty the worl...

Press

"A Max Fleischer cartoon come to life...costumes and makeup and ragtime and a hint of malice...I was hooked on Candy Town the first time I saw them."

— Joe Mason, Steampunk Chicago

"Part band, part neo-vaudeville thingamjig...a finely honed retro aesthetic...building (their) board-walking empire from the vintage shoes up."

— Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader

"The band tosses away common preconceptions of reality and norms, delving into the surreal through their performance; they truly take the audience for a ride."

— Omar Rashan, Take Aim Zine

Questions

Ask Candy Town anything...

Q: Will you be as good as when you played at Regies with Vagabond Opera? That was a fabulous night of entertainment to be remembered.

A: Well then you simply MUST come to see our new show! That Reggie's performance was in Chicago's South Loop; a very well-lit area at night, highly populated with law enforcement officials. The Ace Bar, by contrast, is in a less conspicuous neighborhood, and thusly if we wanted to perform somewhat unorthodox rituals involving, say, farm animals, we'd be more likely to escape the attention of the local authorities.
