While mainly opting for covers and crowd favorites\, the band’s chemistry was clear and they quickly became a regular act on the weekend show bills. Now (just two band name changes later)\, they have released their first studio-recorded EP which is available to stream on most platforms\, as well as for purchase on this site. \n\n\n\nTheir cohesion as musicians only became stronger once they began writing\, and was the pillar to their writing process. In hand with this\, their love for a variety of music genres not only connected them but provided much inspiration for their own music.  \n\n\n\n​Playing in basements and on stages alike throughout the Midwest\, Chauncie leans on their high-energy\, effortlessly fun\, and captivating stage presence to bring down the house with every set.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Know Before You Go\n \n \n\n\n\n \n Manage Tickets\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Directions & Parking\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Program\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Generous support from\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADDITIONAL SUPPORT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConvos is Self-Supporting.Your Ticket Purchases and Generous GiftsPower it All! \n\n\n\n \n Learn More\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Dive Deeper\n \n \n\n\n\nAx and the Hatchetmen talk to Tower Records\n\n\n\nVersatile\, crowd-pleasing\, organic\, and elevating are only a few words often used to describe the fast-rising Chicago-based indie sextet\, Ax and the Hatchetmen.  \n\n\n\nComprised of lead singer Axel Ellis\, guitarist Sal Defilippis\, bassist Hunter Olshefke\, drummer Nick Deputy\, trumpeter Phil Pistone\, and saxophonist Quinn Dolan\, the six-piece band channels a vast array of influences spanning generations and genres alike to channel just about everyone.  \n\n\n\nFollowing the March 15th\, 2024 release of their brand new single “Where tf Did I Park My Car?\,” we sat down with band members Axel and Sal before their New York City show at the Mercury Lounge to talk about the sextet’s journey and what more is to come.  \n\n\n\n \n Tower Records interview\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Enhance your experience\n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BUILD YOUR OWN SEASON \n \n \n PICK5 + Save \n\n Did you know that if you buy 5 shows or more (not 5 tickets)\, you save an average of 10% off single-ticket prices?

As a child\, the only constants were my grandfather\, our cows and dogs. Because of Grandpa’s wisdom and our bond\, I decided to pursue our love of animals as my profession. This is why I became a veterinarian.I studied Veterinary medicine at Makerere University\, Uganda; one of the best universities in Africa. I moved to America to advance my training with an internship in Kentucky and to give my family a better life.  I took the American Veterinary Association required tests; ECFVG/AVMA (at Mississippi State University) to get licensed in the USA. < BACK TO ARTICLEJyotisman Rath Jyotisman Rath Jyotisman Rath is a young avid researcher from India who specializes in sustainable electrochemical energy conversion and storage.
