About the Show
Mortal Fools turn literature classics into one-time-only music mashups that land somewhere between Bruce Hornsby, Steely Dan, and The Replacements, and include irreverent narrative that you never got from your English teachers.
The Chicago Tribune called it “good old lyric-driven rock,” and the lyrics for this show come from Lewis Carroll’s 1865 weird masterpiece Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The words will stay unchanged but they’ll find new relevance and meaning when played through amps turned up to 11.
The band is made-up of seasoned Chicagoland musicians who regularly play around town, so you may have seen them in other shows. This project is a labor of love, if not restitution for all the homework they skipped.
They’ll only come together once to play Wonderland Revisited. Come jump down the rabbit hole with them.season
