Vinyl Theatre is an American indie rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, formed by Keegan Calmes and Chris Senner.
Vinyl Theatre supported the album by going on a national tour in the United States with the musical duo Twenty One Pilots.
[7] Singer and guitarist Keegan Calmes first met keyboardist Chris Senner at a cross-country meet in high school.
The band was in need of a bass player, so Chris contacted a high school friend, Josh Pothier, and asked him to join.
Looking back, the band realized that the combination of the site's only weeks-old "trending" feature and self-promotion on other social media networks was what provided them with so much feedback.
[13] In March 2014, the band was put on Billboard's Next Big Sound Chart[14] and was also announced to the setlist of Summerfest's Emerging Artist Series to take place in July of that year.
People from the label flew out to Milwaukee and watched the band perform in their practice space, which was also Nick Cesarz's basement.
On August 19, 2014, Vinyl Theatre announced via their Facebook page that they had just been signed to Fueled by Ramen and that their first album, Electrogram would be released on September 23, 2014.
[19][20] On January 13, 2017, they performed at a headlining show in their hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at local concert venue The Rave / Eagles Club and premiered their new record in its entirety live.
