Food, Concessions + Drink Menus | Venue FAQ | Contact Info - About Hot Like Mars Website | Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Spotify Hot Like Mars are a Chicago-based jam / funk / soul quintet built on airtight grooves, fearless improvisation, and a deeply collaborative vocal sound. Fronted by vocalist and keyboardist Anthony Perry alongside guitarists Pat Walsh and Frankie “Lightning” Minella, bassist Lamontae Norwood, and drummer Wes Julien, the band blends classic soul and R&B textures with modern jam-band firepower, creating songs that linger long after the house lights come up. Since launching in late 2023, Hot Like Mars have evolved from a buzzy hometown secret into a fast-rising national touring act. Early Chicago milestones—including sold-out headlines at The Metro and Park West and support slots with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and Andy Frasco—laid the foundation for a breakout 2025 marked by festival appearances, coast-to-coast touring, and a growing presence across streaming platforms. Heading into 2026, the band remains focused on building inclusive spaces through music while pushing their sound, scale, and reach forward.
