Riot Fest 2025 Tour • Page 68

speaking of bands that open a stage on saturday - anyone know who is in Feral tact? i cant find names, and im bad with faces, but i imagine this has to be a side project of someone notable from chicago, because they barely have a footprint, but bands like sludgeworth and the bollweevils comment on their IG posts

edit to add finally found on their band camp that they are comprised of:
"Max- Drums
Mikie- Guitar"
but no last names

 

Found this on a show page:
Feral Tact is a two-piece band that leaves no music genre untouched. Feral Tact began in 2023 with guitarist Mike Ramsey (age 40) and Max McQuaid (age 14). Mike (previous bands such as Spar and The Downfall) was working with Chicago punk band Sludgeworth as a guitar tech. Max is the son of Sludgeworth (and former Screeching Weasel) drummer Brian McQuaid, and Max would play drums on one song at Sludgeworth’s live shows. Max had performed with his father’s band at Cobra Lounge, Riot Fest, and Bottom Lounge. Mike and Max would sneak off into their rehearsal room at Fort Knox Studios during Sludgeworth practices and create what is now Feral Tact.

 

More like, NepoTact, amiright? (Joking. Obviously.)

 

Dehd aftershow at the Empty Bottle 9/20

 

3 Day VIP almost sold out!

 

Doubtful. They said normal 3 day tickets where selling fast and there was supposed to be a price increase that never happened

 

But, but… They just posted it so it must be true lol

 

I meeeean... "Almost" is such a relative term.

 

They also posted ticket prices were increasing a few weeks ago and they never did. They post this shit to get people to panic buy
