Future Rock

Future Rock (or "FR" for short) is an electronic rock trio hailing from Chicago, Illinois. The band consists of Felix Moreno on bass guitar and synthesizer, Mickey Kellerman on keyboards and synthesizers, and Darren Heitz on drums and synthesizer.

Future Rock formed in early 2004 (Kellerman and Moreno had formerly been members of the Evanston-based experimental rock group Co-Dependant Origination). Future Rock's debut album, "Sugar Coated Bullets", was self-released on May 9, 2006. In March 2007, Future Rock signed to Harmonized Records.

Future Rock's music is classified as electronica, but fuses elements of progressive house and dance rock. Each of the musicians sample and layer themselves throughout live performances. Their music is often intense and quirky, yet very danceable.

Future Rock enjoyed a breakout year in 2006, performing at many of the largest music festivals in US, including High Sierra and Wakarusa. In August 2006, the band performed two sets at Camp Bisco V, including one set of original music and a late-night set where they performed as Aphex Rock, playing the music of Aphex Twin.
