Stewed Tomatoes
Band Story
Stewed Tomatoes is a no-nonsense punk power trio that knows exactly how to turn up the heat. With a raw, sexy groove and precision-tight licks, this band doesn't just play shows—they detonate them. Their high-energy guitars and unapologetically fierce vocals hit like a sonic gut punch, and it’s no surprise they’ve built a reputation both in the studio and on stage.
These women are studiophiles at heart, but where they truly shine is under the stage lights. As a power trio, they deliver the goods: ambient, gutsy guitar textures, riff-driven basslines that pulse with urgency, and drums that don’t just keep time—they throw punches. Layer that with vocals that are equal parts seductive and aggressive, and you’ve got a band that doesn’t ask for attention—it commands it.
Veterans of the national circuit, Stewed Tomatoes have taken their “Tomato Mania” on the road from Las Vegas to New York, leaving scorched stages in their wake across the Midwest and dominating Chicago’s rock scene. They’ve played virtually every stage that matters: The Metro, The Double Door, Navy Pier, Hard Rock Café, the Congress Theater—venues where legends have cut their teeth. And they’ve done it all with swagger, humor, and a tight-as-nails live set.
What sets them apart, beyond the music, is their stage chemistry. Hilarious banter, unpredictable antics, and a natural stage presence make every show feel like a rock 'n' roll party with a punk soul. This is not a band that phones it in. Whether they're playing to a packed club or a festival crowd, they bring the same wild energy and no-holds-barred attitude.
Comparisons fly—Garbage, Jefferson Airplane, Concrete Blonde, Pink Floyd, My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult, Eurythmics, even Radiohead—but Stewed Tomatoes isn’t copying anyone. They’re rolling their own brand of rock: gritty, melodic, experimental, and unmistakably theirs. And in a landscape where too much feels manufactured, they’re refreshingly real. Tough, bold, and brilliantly unfiltered—these homegrown badasses are the real deal.
