On October 13th, guitarist Marcus Rezak will celebrate his 33rd birthday. Naturally, Rezak called up a few friends to celebrate his birthday – as one does – and turned the occasion into an all-out jam celebration. Cue to SuperNatural Beings, a Rezak-led supergroup that will come together on the 13th for an all-star birthday throwdown.
The show features Marc Brownstein (The Disco Biscuits), Todd Stoops (RAQ/Electric Beethoven) and Allen Aucoin (The Disco Biscuits), each bringing some serious heat to the table. “Performing last year with Marc Brownstein and Todd Stoops at Brooklyn Comes Alive was a blast, and Allen Aucoin and I have performed several times with the Stratosphere All-Stars and at Magic Beans Festival this year. I’ve played with Stoops the most out of all three over the last two years, he is one of my most trusted keyboardists to perform with. Finding the time with everyone’s busy schedules was tough, but I am thrilled to have us all together to make a special night of music to ring my 33rd trip around the sun in my hometown of Chicago.”
The show will take place at the Emporium Arcade Bar, with prog dance rock group Thinner Teed kicking off the night. Supernatural Beings has seen a lot of musicians through its numerous incantations, including members of Umphrey’s McGee, Lotus, Particle and more, but the 5th version will keep it tight with the four members. “This Supernatural Beings show will be an epic night of high level improvised dance rock n roll! Previous SB shows have featured 8-9 people on stage, but this show is condensed for a smaller tighter ensemble easily shift to explore sonic territory.”
The theme of the night is “Where The Wild Things Are,” which Rezak calls typical of the fall season in Chicago. All in all, he can’t wait to get this group together. “The best gift I could ask for is to throw down some heavy sonic propulsion with everyone in my home town and transcend into another year of life doing what I love and why I am believe I am put on this earth.”
With guest appearances on the table, including Chicago native Emily Nichols on vocals (who has worked with Manic Focus, Russ Liquid, and more), this looks to be one incredible night of jamming! Tickets are available here, so don’t miss out.
