Bring Your Ray Gun

Chicago’s disco-punk outfit Bring Your Ray Gun are a rare breed of performers for their genre. Though their sound relies heavily on 4/4, dance-oriented elasticity, their live assault of guitar, bass, and drums is razor-sharp, bringing a vital pulse while incorporating bold programming. BYRG dropped their debut (a four-song, self-titled EP) in November 2013 as a digital and 10” vinyl release. The band retooled a few live favorites and brought some cunning new material to the table as well. Recorded by Nick Schubert at Bobby Peru Recording Studio in Milwaukee, Bring Your Ray Gun’s debut is both headphone- and dancefloor- worthy. They have shared the stage with both national heavy-hitters (ON AN ON, Moving Units, Jamaican Queens, Stepdad, Walk The Moon) and local favorites (Blah Blah Blah, Hey Champ), and a recent tour to SXSW is quickly spinning the quartet from best kept secret to next big thing status.
