The Usual Mistakes

Episode 556

Artist: The Usual Mistakes

THE USUAL MISTAKES formed in January of 2005 with the meeting of charismatic frontman/rhythm guitarist Phillip and killer lead guitarist Bob aka 'Slaphead'. The two began honing their craft in venues across Illinois as they searched for the pieces to complete their sound.

Their search was completed when Myron, a rockin' & groovin' bassist, and drummer/vocalist extraordinaire Billy joined the band in 2007 and 2010.

The band has seen several lineup changes since then, but found its soul in 2013 with the addition of extraordinary guitar player Kevin.

Since 2005, the band has been jammin' in venues from intimate coffee houses to large clubs and theaters. Previous venues have included: the Beat Kitchen, O'Malley's, Red Line Tap, Champs, Charlie Horse, Chant, Miska's, Avenue Wine Bar, Q Billiards, appearances at Homewood Fest, appearances at Hyde Park Fest, and many many more.

"The Usual Mistakes have taken the Midwest acoustic scene by storm, doing the 'FUnKIN' ACOUSTIC' and rocked out 'Rhythm & Groove' shows. Winning over every crowd, with their fun, upbeat performances. Getting rave reviews and showing music lovers a different side to acoustic music. The Usual Mistakes are currently performing every chance they can. These guys truly love to play!!!
