Future Rock. This Chicago based trio comprised of Mickey Kellerman, Felix Moreno and Darren Heitzat play at Camp Bisco in Upstate New York with the Disco Biscuits every year, as well as opening for them for many shows. They are not your traditional rock band. They use "live loops, synthesizers, filters and an electronic drum kit, to create a "larger-than-life sound that sends crowds into frenzies."

Kellerman explains, "We manage to pull off our live show while keeping pre-recorded samples to a minimum. Ninety-nine percent of our live show is live." This concept is at the core of Future Rock: technology has progressed so that real-time sampling and electronic synthesis can now occur on-stage. "Its really important to not get to geeky with our music. People want to hear songs with melodies or grooves they can dance to. Its a question of utilizing the new technology with the old song structure so that kids can rock out the same way, but to new sounds," Heitz adds.

Their live shows are truly an experience not to miss.
