WPGU 107.1
In December 2020 (as this insane year comes to a close), I sat down with Quilt Club, a five-piece indie rock band formed in 2018 and based out of Rockford, Illinois. Quilt Club bandmembers include Lincoln Flowers (lead vocals/guitar), Taylor Hopkins (vocals), Max Dempsey (bass guitar), Greg DeBaere (drums), and Astrid Burnley (synthesizer/sampler).
A gray cargo van barrels down a narrow road in the Midwestern middle of nowhere. The van only has two front seats. The back is just an empty space. A rug. Window curtains. Four Quilt Club bandmates sit on the floor, tumbling around amongst their musical equipment while Astrid drives confidently through the quickly falling snow.
