Over nine years and close to 500 shows ago, the Modern Day Romeos formed to become
the quintessential party band. Based out of Chicago's Northwest Suburbs, all five members came together from different backgrounds to create a brand new band, with a brand new style and continue to do so to this day. Modern Day Romeos will provide you with a high energy show, and take you on a musical journey...playing past and present hits with that strong backbeat you just can't miss.  MDR continues to play before impressive crowds and have an extensive contact list through a massive online presence. MDR has been blessed to have shared the same stage as Vince Neil, Slaughter, Jimmy Van Zant, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Lucky Boys Confusion, and countless other local bands. MDR with many media outets including: 95.1 WIIL Rock, 102.3 XLC FM & 1220 WKRS and countless magizine and newspaper publications.

THE SONGS

The musical selection of MDR is about as wide as it gets. The spectrum includes motown classics, classic rock treasures, metal anthems, 80's favorites, 90's gems, and the top hits of the 2000's. We alter most of the songs to our own style and add a lot of comedy and medleys to make your favorite songs new to you again. Our fan base ranges from 21 to 61 on a regular basis and we want to make sure we have something for everyone. Our challenge this year is to continue writing original music and have it available  on iTunes by the end of the summer.

 

THE EXPERIENCE

Put on your partici-pants!! MDR strives to be the most entertaining band you will see. Jim is in the crowd half of the time, separating them and assigning singing parts and leading a "bad dancing" competition, while Justin is showing off his majestic cowbell moves. Even if you attend by yourself, we will make sure that you meet the people next to you and high five and cheers the rest. We don't want you to come see a show, we want you to be a part of it. 

 

THE VENUES

We do our best to accommodate any size group of people or situation. MDR has played everything from graduation parties to weddings, to sand bar parties in the middle of a lake, to festivals in front of thousands of people throughout Illinois Wisconsin, and Indiana. We also have remained a top drawing band in almost all of the indoor venues we've have played for over 9 years.

 

 

We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to all those that come out to our shows. Please continue to support the local music scene, because without you...we're nothing. See you at the shows.
