ALUMINATI GUITARS IN-STORE AT FRET12
Here's a recap of our in-store event with Aluminati Guitars on April 13th — we had beer from Goose Island, coffee from Dark Matter Coffee, good tunes, and great times as Aluminati shows off some of their newest gear.
The event concluded with a Riff-Off Contest with Jason Milbank of Senses Fail, Dallas Thomas of Ready For Death, and Marc Stranger-Najjar from Huntsmen as judges.
We ended the night with the coveted guitar giveaway!

“Everybody put everything into [the new album] and it feels like a special record from that point of view — that it came from a specific group of people. Friends, the Chicago scene...it wouldn’t have been possible without the community.”
– Niko Kapetan & Bailey Minzenberger

HARD-WON TOUR TIPS
💥 “FaceTiming friends and partners — it helps us stay grounded. Group meditations, too.”
💥 “Having a really good sleeping setup...that’s the only thing that’s truly consistent, your sleeping bag stays the same, your cot stays the same.”
💥 “Try to find a trail, or some sort of nature. You’re out in concrete 95% of time, so it's kind of nice to, for lack of a better word, touch grass.”
💥 “One of my favorite ways to get to know cities is just walking through the neighborhoods.”
“Now when we’re making stuff, we know if something feels right — is it us or if it’s not us — which is probably the most important thing as a band.”

“This is my favorite pedal I've ever owned, the Reverberation Machine [by Death By Audio]. I started using it for guitar because I like this really cool, dusty kind of distorted reverb... there are a lot of songs in Ganser where I use distorted vocals. It’s just a sound I’ve always wanted for vocals and it’s much more fun to perform as well.”
