About

Few bars have adequate fire suppression equipment when The Recliners take the stage. Eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for two years and counting, The Recliners bring their unique interpretation of the bar band genre to clubs around Chicago and occasionally points beyond.

Galway

We return to Galway this Saturday at 9pm!

The best part about this place, besides us and their 4am liquor license, is their Lobster Zone machine:

So, come on out, let us ROCK YOUR FACE OFF, and see if you can catch a terrified crustacean with a claw like he were a Beanie Baby or something. A delicious, soon-to-be-boiled-and-drenched-in-butter Beanie Baby.

It’s how we roll.

Here are some shots from Poopy’s yesterday. I couldn’t believe how many people braved that deluge to get there on their motorcycles. We had a great time under some terrible circumstances and are looking forward to getting back there next year.

Big thanks to Steve the sound man and Dale at Poopy’s for helping make the best of a tough day!

Upcoming gigs, including, um, tomorrow

Yep, just a little bit tardy in posting this one. Marketing Fail! But who has time for sissified nonsense like advertising when we work so hard to bring the rock?

Case in point: we learned two new songs this week just for this gig, if by “new” you’re willing to accept that they were actually recorded in 1977 (then made much more famous on a live album recorded in Budokan in 1979) and 1994.

Anyway, upcoming gigs!

Poopy’s!

Come celebrate the 4th of July with us the way the founding fathers intended: by rocking your sweaty self at a biker bar in lovely Savanna, Illinois by the banks of the mighty Mississippi. This is one of our favorite stops—a friendly venue with an outdoor stage, great atmosphere, and fantastic food. It’s gonna be a great day.

Look, America is 235 years old next week, and that’s pretty close to our combined age and our average weight, too. I don’t see how you can miss this.

Veni, vidi, vici. (Turns out Latin doesn’t have a verb that means “to rock”).

Spring Tour Kickoff!

Good gravy, it’s been a long cold winter. Are you ready to kick the ice crystals off of your boogie shoes and shake what your momma gave you?

No, I have no idea what any of that means, either.

Let’s explore it together:
