Liquid Faction
A multi-generational rock, fusion, and hip-hop collective from the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Two guitars, bass, drums, and two vocalists — with guest musicians frequently sitting in.
Influences include The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, The Strokes, The Black Keys, The Meters, and Franz Ferdinand. High-energy, multi-genre, crowd-thrilling sets from 30 to 180 minutes — Chicago bars and venues are home base.
