Filligar

Hailing from Chicago, young rock & roll quartet Filligar takes to the road this summer armed with their latest LP entitled The Nerve. The record captures the live-show energy that has attracted the attention of Performer Magazine and audiences from coast to coast. The band kicked off The Nerve Tour 2010 with a performance at Summerfest in Milwaukee that caught the attention of MSNBC:
“Hours before Eric Clapton and Roger Daltry took the Summerfest stage, a young, up and coming rock quartet was wowing an enthusiastic audience at the U.S. Cellular Stage. Filligar is a Midwest-based band steeped in classic rock. Although they are young, they have a great sense of rock and roll heritage”
Filligar’s music recalls the classic rock sound of bands like The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, The Doors, and Led Zeppelin while maintaining the distinctly modern sound that first attracted print media and music blogs to Filligar. National rock critic Jim DeRogatis and radio icon Roe Conn are among the media personalities that have hailed their sound.
A band of three brothers and a lifelong friend, Filligar has been writing together and performing nationally for nearly a decade. They have shared the stage with artists such as The Black Keys, B.o.B, Peter Yarrow, and Pronto and this summer will bring them to festivals with headliners such as Eric Clapton, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Tom Tom Club, and B.B. King
