The last few months have been full of buzz for Filligar. Their recent release, "Near or Far," reached the CMJ Top 200 for College Radio. American Rock critic Jim DeRogatis and radio icon Roe Conn have both endorsed the band. MTV has featured six Filligar songs on its programming. Their live show is exciting and fresh, and their records have garnered praise from publications like the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and popular blogs like I Guess I'm Floating. Filligar has performed with the Black Keys, the Cool Kids, Eve 6, B.o.B, Wale, and Pronto (a Wilco side project).

Filligar is Casey Gibson, Johnny, Pete, and Teddy Mathias.
