Post Sex Nachos Indie Rock
Hailing from the middle of the middle of the Midwest comes a band that bends genres and produces tunes that’ll make you want to roller-skate and two-step to your heaviest feelings: Post Sex Nachos. Charging into battle for the love of the music, these roller-coaster rockers are here to redefine the term "boy band" forever.
This 4-piece with a fantastically unique Venn diagram of influences and musical backgrounds continues to constantly reimagine the scope of what they can do with their art. Comprised of Mitch Broddon (lead guitar, support Vox), Sammy Elfanbaum (rhythm guitar, lead Vox), Chase Mueller (bass, support Vox), and Hunter Pendleton (drums), Post Sex Nachos doesn’t just record music for virtual consumption - they bring it to the fans who matter most.
Performing to sold-out rooms from coast to coast, Post Sex Nachos delivers a raw, once-in a-generation live show, replete with pop-hook singalongs that sweep you up, solos to make you quake, and grooves worth diving head first into.
