Overview
The Dead Bolts & Cab Ellis

The Dead Bolts - Chicago's raucous, no-frills modern rock outfit — are hitting the road with Cab Ellis, the beating heart of New York City's underground alt-rock revival. Multiple nights. Multiple cities. No polish. No pretense.

The Dead Bolts have been earning it for years, from hour-long sets in corner bars and tours across the country crammed in Vancis, to packing out prestigious venues like Metro, Thalia Hall, and Salt Shed. Their sophomore LP Beau Monde is their loudest statement yet: a nine-track, no-skip record built for stages exactly like these and yet nowhere near as loud as their highly anticipated 3rd LP coming at the end of 2026.

The Dead Bolts
The Dead Bolts have been earning it for years, from hours-long sets in corner bars and tours across the country crammed in their beloved van, Vancis, to packing out prestigious venues like Metro, Thalia Hall, and Salt Shed. Their sophomore LP, Beau Monde, is their loudest statement yet: a nine-track, no-skip record built for stages exactly like these and yet nowhere near as loud as their highly anticipated 3rd LP coming out in October of this year. Come hear their latest World Class Hit, SKINT, live in a city near you.

Cab Ellis
Cab Ellis rolled out of New York the same way — six musicians who couldn't stop themselves from going completely untamed, led by frontman Connor Abeles, a performer whose energy turns a room full of strangers into one anarchic being. Stage diving. Beer-spitting. Split guitar strings. Sold-out nights at Bowery Ballroom. This is what rock and roll is supposed to feel like.
Together, they're bringing the kind of live show that's getting harder to find — raw, loud, real, and absolutely worth the drive.

The Dead Bolts. A true Rock band of the Modern Age, hailing from Chicago, IL.

The Dead Bolts didn't come up through the industry - they earned every room they walked into. Eddie Hennessy, John Rolence, James Ryan, Matt Paske, Tyler Hancock, and Pat Corbett - six guys from the South Side who built the kind of band that feels less like a music project and more like a crew you want to be around. Their live show reflects exactly that. The kind of music that evokes Fontaines D.C., Local Natives, and early Kings of Leon.

They've sold out rooms across Chicago, played Thalia Hall and Metro, and toured the entire country crammed in an SUV named Vancis with no crew and no safety net. Just a relentless belief in what they're doing.

Now with their third record on the way and the momentum of Beau Monde still carrying, The Dead Bolts are stepping into a bigger moment with everything that got them here still fully intact. Raw, loud, and absolutely worth the drive.

About

THE DEAD BOLTS

Eddie Hennessy, John Rolence, James Ryan, Matt Paske (Benny Mace), Tyler Hancock, and Pat Corbett

All cut from the same kind of cloth that gets used and thrown back into a drawer over and over again, the original members of The Dead Bolts
found each other in 2018. In a manner some would regard as premature, having only practiced twice, the band found themselves booked solid
in watering holes and Irish pubs around their native south side Chicago neighborhoods. It was tucked into the corners of these establishments
playing extremely loud and not very well for 4+ hours a night, where the band would cut their teeth among swells of underaged college kids,
just like them, that had flooded in to drink and scream the lyrics of the same set of songs every weekend.

When they each finally wrapped up their academic careers in 2020, they got to work on putting together their first full length album. The song
writing wore a few different hats, with an eclectic mix of songs reflective of what music they were into at the time. Historically speaking, they
might have picked the toughest year to record, but they navigated their way through a few different studios and engineers to sculpt and
finish their debut LP, Pretty And Burnt Out released in the Fall of 2021. They sold out their album release show at the locally adored Schubas
Tavern, and what ensued after that was 2 years of DIY touring the U.S. in the lead singer Eddie’s mid size SUV. After a few more successful
shows over the years, they continue to independently tour but have since upgraded to a used 2008 Ford E350 Van that they lovingly named
“Vancis”. Vancis is very important to the band.

As of late, The Dead Bolts just recorded and released their second album. They set out to write a full LP with the intention of every single
track being able to stand alone as a single if it needed to. New studio. New producer. New sound. Something adjacent to the current modern
state of Rock, with their own stamp on it. This isn’t technically a new band, but it’s definitely a new version of them. Their 2nd album, “Beau
Monde” is out everywhere now.
