COMEDIAN/ACTOR & MUSICIAN HAL SPARKS WILL BE MAKING A SPECIAL APPEARANCE AND PLAYING A FEW SONGS WITH POVERTY TAX!

Rock, Psychedelic, Pop, Folk, Country, Gypsy, Punk, Blues, Experimental. Poverty Tax was formed in the Fall of 2006 by the 2 founding members of Secret Agent Bill- Daniel Lewis and Stefan Benteler. Having played together since SAB’s inception in 1995 (when they were just 14 yrs old), they decided to go in a different musical direction, centered around acoustic folk, electric rock-n-roll, and a knack for memorable songs that matter. In 2007, Ed Schlicksup joined the band, and was instantly dubbed Ed Lunar- a reference to his former Champaign, IL Indie Rock/Prog band Lunar Breakdown.

Wannabe Heroes tour throughout Chicago and its surrounding cities using a five piece live band. The Wannabe’s hard-hitting, yet ultra melodic arrangement of sounds energizes their fans in a way that keeps them wanting more. Their music reflects the up’s and down’s of everyday life and the coping with those events using music as a channel to connect, motivate, and inspire those who relate. They make it a personal mission to upkeep hip-hop’s true meaning in an attempt to keep the music and the culture it represents from becoming solely a tool of capitalism.
