Believe it or not, these blue boys have been rocking the Chicago stage since a whopping 1997. That’s right, folks. While the rest of us were busy figuring out dial-up internet, these guys were busy creating a sensory overload of lights, sounds, and pure, unadulterated fun. It's like they've been a permanent fixture of the Chicago skyline, right up there with the Bean and deep-dish pizza.
Still Going Strong
Twenty-plus years and they're still going strong. It's like a marathon, but with more paint and less Lycra.
