Three reasons to brave Wrigleyville during baseball season and see the Maybenauts at Cubby Bear…

1. Well, what can you say about the Maybenauts that I haven’t already said. It’s simple. Chicago quartet the Maybenauts will rock your socks off and have you dancing barefoot on what you hope is beer. Plus these girls can really belt it out.

Rock music has always skewed toward worship of the ones who exude cool. Chicago quartet the Maybenauts hope audiences discover that dorks have more fun.

“We don’t want people to think we’re cool; we’re total nerds,” said Leilani Frey, lead singer of the Maybenauts. “Being cool is not cool. Being a dork is cool.”

Wander into any Maybenauts show and you will find that all eyes fall on guitarist Vee Sonnets dressed in a space suit and panda mask.
