Biography
Formed just a few years ago, TurningDownToday has become one of the most popular rock bands in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. In the summer of 2005, they won the Palatine/Rolling Meadows/Salt Creek Battle of the Bands, earning a spot to play at Durty Nellie’s on July 24, 2005. They have performed at many venues around their hometown of Palatine, including the Limelight Café, Twin Lakes, Elk Grove Village VFW, Fred P. Hall Amphitheater, Durty Nellie’s, and much more. In Chicago, they’ve played at countless bars, including Hoghead McDunna’s, Red Line Tap, US Beer Co, and many more. TurningDownToday is a hard rock group with mainstream accessibility. The band performed in the 95.1FM WIIL Rock Bandemonium Competition, and was the youngest band to receive as many votes as they did. In 2006, TurningDownToday was featured on the front page of Daily Herald newspaper’s local section. In 2007, TurningDownToday played at various bars in Chicago, often as a featured Live Karaoke Band. Currently, TdT is making an impact on the rock scene in Champaign-Urbana, packing bars and rock clubs. TurningDownToday released their debut CD, “..Looking to Tomorrow” in the summer of 2006 and is still touring in support of the album. In 2008, TdT opened for Universal Republic band ALTER BRIDGE, as well as the nationally touring MIDNIGHT TO TWELVE. TurningDownToday puts on an energetic, exciting live show, and their sound in concert shows the band truly in their element.
