Hunter-gatherer (formerly known as Fall Classic) has pulsed at the heart of Chicago’s indie music scene since 2012—where analog soul meets digital grit, and every show feels like a ritual.
Known for their genre-bending sound and electrifying live performances, the band has built a reputation across iconic Chicago venues—Lincoln Hall, Metro, Sleeping Village, Schubas, Bottom Lounge, and the Empty Bottle—as well as festivals throughout the Midwest including Summer Camp Music Festival.
With four full-length albums, a string of EPs, singles, and five short films, Hunter-gatherer weaves together moody textures, hypnotic grooves, and cinematic storytelling. Their sound lives somewhere between the jungle and the city—equal parts primal rhythm and future pulse.
Now reemerging under a new name and creative vision, Hunter-gatherer is preparing a bold return to the stage in 2025—armed with a new album and a sound evolved.
For those who’ve been watching the shadows:
The signal is stronger. The hunt is on.
