Bio:

The Fancies walked into a 7-11. It had been a long night. Death (not THAT Death!) stumbled into the same 7-11.

Yo, said The Fancies.

Yo, said Death.

And the rest was history.

The Fancies with Death - the brand new songwriting project of Sam Ramos, Ryan Thompson and Michael Green - welcome you to a special live show / open rehearsal / songwriting workshop on Saturday May 30th at Compound Yellow in Oak Park.

ALL ticket revenue goes to support Compound Yellow. So click on this link RIGHT NOW, buy a ticket, and help support non-profit art spaces, WE ALL NEED YOU!

This is our first show (6th rehearsal) together, so it is very special. We want everybody there! If you want to join us but can’t swing a ticket at the moment we will be handing out many free tickets at the door (revenue still going to Compound Yellow). Everyone is welcome! And please bring the kids! We will have art project stations set up for them.

AND (we really buried the lead here), young Oak Park band Jackie Mandrake, who play an intoxicating mix of alternative / metal / post-hardcore, will also be performing. They are SO AMAZING, you don’t want to miss them! 

So get a ticket if you can (no worries if you can’t!), but mark the calendar, and we will see you May 30th at Compound Yellow. Thank you!!! We love you!!

BIOS 

As a kindergartner in the 1980s Sam Ramos was signed up for karate by his parents. He quit after the first day because he didn’t like taking his shoes off in front of strangers. It is a moment he has never overcome. Sam is a writer, museum guy, father, spouse…and musician? He grew up in Austin but considers Chicago his home even though he lives in Berwyn. 

As an elementary school kid in the 1980s Michael Green's mom signed him up for judo classes. After he was dropped off, he waited for his mom to leave and then he climbed out through the window of the community center and ran away. He never went back and has mostly stuck with the arts since, currently working as a Creative Director with the Chicago Humanities Festival.

Since being discovered in the woods, Ryan Thompson has grown more accustomed to our modern human ways. He still sleeps on the floor and catches his own food. What you don’t know is that he made work about cryptids years ago. https://departmentofnaturalhistory.com/Burden-of-Proof
