Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, industrial band Short to Ground is a high-tech voice in a high-tech world. With a style that mixes elements of rock, techno, dance, pop, and even heavy metal, Short to Ground thematically explores a 21st century society that once was a vision of the future found only in fiction. StG’s members all boast well over a decade of live performance and studio experience, and their energetic, emotional live shows and recordings are not to be missed. Drawing from diverse musical inspirations such as industrial bands Nine Inch Nails and Clock DVA, to rock band AC/DC and electronic composer Vangelis, Short to Ground seeks to entertain yet inform.
