Antigone Rising returns to Chicago as one of the headliner bands at the Backlot Bash

Review and photos by Anita Maree Brodersen

The New York based band, Antigone Rising, were one of the headlining bands at the annual Backlot Bash in Chicago where hundreds flocked to see and hear founders/sisters Cathy (guitar/vocals) and Kristen Henderson (bass/vocals), Nini Camps (guitar/lead vocals) and Dena Tauriello (drums).  It has been a few years since Antigone Rising hit a stage in Chicago, but the women did not miss a beat. The alternative country female rockers showcased many of their songs including “Everything Changes”, “One Foot In”, “That Was the Whiskey”, “Weed and Wine”, “Borrowed Time”, “Don’t Look Back”, and a rockin’ crowd favorite “Game Changer”.  The four women gel so well together that after they left the stage many fans wanted to hear more.
