Lunar Ticks are an eclectic Improvisational/Alternative Rock band from Chicago, IL. 

The band is influenced by the songwriting and studio experimentation of 90’s and 2000’s innovative Alternative/Indie rock bands like Wilco, My Morning Jacket, The Flaming Lips, Ween, Yo La Tengo, Pavement, and Dr. Dog, and fuses it with genre-bending, progressive musicality, and exploratory improvisations in the vein of The Grateful Dead, Phish, and Umphrey’s McGee.

Lunar Ticks are equally at home on a bill with a folk singer, punk band, free jazz ensemble, you name it. Each setlist is formed from their diverse and expansive song list of originals and covers; debuting new material at almost every show. Extended improvisational passages can turn on a dime or meditate and unfurl in unexpected ways. Lunar Ticks aim to create a unique and memorable experience every time they pick up their instruments.

Kyle John Kenowski is a Milwaukee based musician and animator whose music is best described as “classical psychedelic folk pop”. His music ranges from triumphant to devastating, from scary to sweet, decorated with lilting classical guitar passages and a thousand different voices. In November 2020 he released the animated music video TRUSTWORMY which was published by Adult Swim alongside his album NEED DISEASE.
