Blue lights fill the once dark room as a low hum emerges from the speakers surrounding the stage. The first member to enter was Andrew Fisher, wearing a Depeche Mode t-shirt. Andrew Fisher is the founding member and lead vocalist of Basement, formed in the English town Ipswich in 2009. Andrew is accompanied onto the stage by his brother James, the drummer; Ronan Crix, the lead guitarist; Alex Henery on rhythm guitar; and bassist Duncan Stewart. Basement began this tour on October 7th in Brooklyn and has 3 dates left after their stop in Chicago to play the House of Blues. They would bring along Hi-Vis, Big Boy, and Lowertown to support them. This tour coincides with the release of Wired, their fifth studio album that was released in May of this year. While their earlier EP’s were often called pop-punk, the band has come into their own with a sound reminiscent of emo and post-hardcore greats.
