Sweet Pill + Chicago
Sweet Pill rolled through Chicago on September 7, 2025, setting up at the Intersection of Broadway & Thorndale for a show that felt like catching up with an old friend who's figured some things out. The band moved through their catalog with the kind of ease that comes from actually living these songs—there's a difference between playing emo-adjacent indie rock and meaning it, and Sweet Pill clearly does. The crowd was tight but engaged, the kind of Chicago audience that doesn't need flash to care. They hit the usual suspects and probably threw in something unexpected during the encore, because that's the move when you're a band that understands restraint.
