Founded in 1987, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult is a pioneering Chicago industrial-dance band known for their theatrical performances, which incorporate B-movie footage projections and a cabaret-style stage show themed around sex, satirical Satanism, and sleazy disco kitsch. Their rep was solidified by their appearance in the 1994 cult film The Crow, and they also landed music in films such as the animated Ralph Bakshi feature Cool World (1992) and the camp classic Showgirls (1995). Among their popular tracks on dance club and alternative rock charts are "Sex on Wheelz," "Kooler Than Jesus," and "Daisy Chain 4 Satan," with much of their music now released via their own SleazeBox Records label. The Little Italy date on the band’s Delicate Terror Tour Part 2 includes Light Asylum, Die Sexual, Devora, and Heavy Halo.

Recognized for his raspy vocals and vulnerable songwriting, singer-songwriter Langhorne Slim has earned widespread acclaim for albums such as The Spirit Moves and Lost at Last Vol. 1, as well as hit songs like “The Way We Move” and “Put It Together.” He has toured with The Avett Brothers, Cake, and The Lumineers and appeared at high profile festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and the Newport Folk Festival. He has also seen his music used in films such as Waitress, which featured his track “Electric Love Letter.” In concert, he’s known for playing both acoustic and electric guitar, as well as banjo, piano, and harmonica. He’s touring in support of his newest album The Dreamin’ Kind, which he says explores themes of sobriety, mental health, and personal growth.

He was awarded the inaugural Impact Award at the 2024 Canadian Sync Awards, and his viral single “Je te laisserai des mots” became the first French song to accumulate one billion streams on Spotify.
